I.... can't pinpoint a single book in my life...
They sort of all pile up on top of each other giving me a broad view of most of humanity's achievements and also our understanding of how the world works.
There was a book that we had to read in 9th grade, it's a portuguese classical novel - Os Maias - about a guy who falls in love with a very beautiful girl... (and this happens half way through the book which is some 900 pages long full of elaborate descriptions of every single location). The guy eventually finds out that she's his sister, but keeps shagging her. Then someone tells her, and that he already knew about it before the last shag, and she leaves.
His life then goes on as the bohemian that he was.
So, at the nice age of 14, I was introduced to incest and how absolutely non-awful, or even normal, it was if you didn't know you were in an incestuous relationship. Also, you could just pretend to forget about that detail and shag away... Makes you wonder about perspective and how much truth lies in the standard admonishment of incest....
