Haven't seen that since it came out so sorry mate, went right over my head!

I'm getting plenty of stupid comments and I'll always respond, sorry I didn't get the joke! 😂🤙

The Alchemist or anything by Coelho would be good. Also the Stephen King short story books. He has lots of them. Shawshank Redemption is in one of them. Everything's Eventual is a good one....

Seconding the Alchemist…the gorgeous imagery just lifts you up out of reality and takes you somewhere magical.

Thanks!! I’d also recommend Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s Cemetery of Forgotten Books series. It’s set in Barcelona before/during/after the civil war and really takes you on a dark and twisty journey. Also all the places he wrote about are real (I live here and walk by them every day) so if you ever visit, you can walk around and see all the things you read about!

Also sending the good vibez while you do your time. My brother is a heroin addict so I’ve seen how going on a bender can make you a whole different person. It’s rough but you got this!

Added the alchemist, I've seen it posted around a lot. I enjoy King and have read a lot, and can find many of his books in the prison library already. Thanks man!
