Martin Eden | 
so-soI‘ve read this before, but I didn‘t remember it and wanted to revisit it. I liked the beginning well enough as Martin is discovering new things, but I enjoyed it less as the story went on. I want Martin to find something real in what he‘s searching for, and instead he‘s never satisfied leading to a tragic ending.
