A book that gives you the feeling of childhood adventure. Going on a journey far away from home, starting naive and learning things about the world. Except, a book that is intended for adults.Does something like that exist out there? I don't want to read YA fiction but I want to feel nostalgic for the past. There's been pieces of media that made me feel this before but they've been pretty rare.
It took me 3 days to read half of the book and a week to read the rest of it because I got bored by it but try Le Grand Meaulnes

>>23605233Great book, but not something with very much adventure, physically speaking. I would suggest Moby Dick for a similarly toned adventure novel, containing in it more elements of a typical "hero's journey", with sufficient subtext for adult analysis and enjoyment.
