The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
2.0

Okay so I probably read this as a kid but I don’t remember, so I read it again yesterday after grabbing it at a thrift store... and I don’t think I get the hype? There are some poignant lines and some amusing thoughts on growing up and being an adult, but overall it didn’t resonate with me. (Does this mean I’ve become the boring adult with no imagination?!??) I think part of it might be the fact that it was translated from French (I always thinks books lose some magic in translation) but it felt scattered and confusing to me overall. Oh well!
