Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is written in the same style I think in. It made it really easy to read and that’s probably why it’s my favorite book series.
I recommended it to my partner and she said “I can’t read it the writing style is too weird” lol.
Have you ever read a book that was written in the way that you think?
I just read a book called Atmospheric Disturbances that had a very interesting writing style. It was written in first person, and all the descriptions felt very specific and the narrator made a lot of minute observations. He clearly understood the world through a rationalist and empirical lens, although this was very ironic as the whole book is about him experiencing a delusion that's very apparent to the reader and not to him. I also liked how the descriptive style didn't slow the book down at all, and actually felt like it was moving it forward. I really liked this writing style; something about it scratched an itch in my brain, and I realized partway through that the reason why was because it echoed the way I think. It was quite uncanny to make this connection.
Anyways, I'm curious if you've ever had an experience like this, or maybe in the reverse if books have influenced your thought patterns. I think reading a lot in my formative years definitely has influenced the way I think but it's hard to say specifics.
