Just finished re-reading the tartar steppe by Dino Buzzati and it felt as touching as the first time, tears came up a couple of times even tho I'm not really the emotional type. I don't know how much in detail to talk about it because I don't want to spoil anything but this is a beautiful book about how time never stops passing and the intrinsical absurdity of life. It has been a cathartic experience every time I've read it and it always gives me motivation to be have a more active attitude in life.

I love this book. I haven’t read it for a long time but it is a book I think of often, and it is indeed a good motivation not to wait on life. If you can find Buzzati’s short stories (they are hard to find in English), I really recommend them too, especially restless nights and the K.
