Most original, exciting, fresh, mindblowing? Doesn't have to be theory, non-fiction, or even leftist. I just wanna get to know more exciting books.

My own answers:

Non-fiction: Debt - The Last 5000 Years and A Paradise Built In Hell were paradigm shifts for me, in a great way.

Fiction: Gonna have to be The Trojan War Will Not Take Place. Yes it's a play from 1935 but it was more interesting for me than many more current books, and the anti-war message is unfortunately still fresh.

    tbh with BS Jobs you should just read the essay. The book feels a bit like someone who got a book deal to expand a viral listicle. Admittedly, I only read the first two chapters of the book before I gave up on it, but it didn't feel like there was that much more there.
