In Search of Myself: Life, Death, and Personal Identity

This is the strangest, most wonderful novel I have ever read

This novel really makes me wonder who I am. According to this book, I am the author, I am Rene Descartes, and I am you. We are all the same person. I do in fact recognize myself in some of its pages. But where does that leave me? Here? There? Everywhere? Nowhere? This is a philosophical labyrinth in which you must lose yourself in order to find yourself. My favorite lines in it are, "Mirrors are the darkest glass in Plato's cave," and "When again I looked I was gone."
