The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin
This little book is truly frightening. It is an incredibly astute observation of the human thought process and our muddled psyche, and I cannot help but be shocked by the conclusions it presents.
I also feel a strong connection with the protagonist - it's like the book was written about me. His desires and his errors are not unlike mine, and in spite of great resistance I feel a strong pull towards the Gurdjieffian system, for all its flaws and weirdness.
I also have the intuition that the way it is described in the book is way the world is.
