Great post! I am also a 90s child and I can honestly say that books have changed my life to the better! Some of them can really help to understand yourself and your role into this world way better. At the moment I am reading the book "The alchemist" by Paulo Coelho and despite I haven't finished it yet I can say: It is such a wise and changing book, I can truely recommend it :)
Really a wonderful and philosophical journey :)
Best wishes! :)
