Strange Life of Ivan Osokin by P.D. Ouspensky
3.0
3.5/5
Really enjoyed this one, the perspective on time and existence, building off Nietzsche's "eternal recurrence" was very interesting and the overall book was well written and flowed very well. Overall a really enjoyable and interesting read but would be much much better if Ivan wasn't portrayed in such an annoying fashion (although I guess this is authorial intent - making clear his ideology of fatalism), and also the ending which makes literally no sense at all.
