The Secret History.

Somethings change my life because of their resonance. The Symbolist movement that I read through in a haze of library books from the 1930's; falling in love with Kurt Vonnegut two weeks before he passed away as I read A Man without a Country for my high school senior English class; the afternoon I read most of On the Road.

I am currently about a hundred pages into Diana Tartt's The Secret History and I can feel it changing me as I read. It's mood is autumn and winter, its language is my fleeting dreams, and its ending is as mysterious to me as my own unspoken and truly unwonderered future.
