Which Book from the 1001 List Stayed with You the Longest?

[Raphaël]

Many books on the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list don’t just entertain — they reshape how we understand memory, identity, and the human condition.

Which book from the list left the deepest mark on you — and why?
Was it a character, a philosophical idea, or a moment that stayed with you long after you closed the book?

I’d love to hear your experiences.
