    With work and all the first world problems out there, I could do with being knocked down a peg or two and reminded when I need to MTFU.

    So, based on that, can anyone recommend any books that would remind me that we are not all unique and fantastic, and that some people do go through a lot worse than dropping your toast butter side down.

    So far i’ve found Chernobyl Prayer by Svetlana Alexievich
