Title: Veronika Decides to Die - Paulo Coelho - book Summary : Veronika, a young and pretty Slovenian woman, seems to have everything she could wish for in life. Yet, she is not happy. On November 21, 1997, she decides to die. Her suicide attempt leads her to the Villete psychiatric hospital, where she rubs shoulders with real madmen, but also with a seemingly normal population who seem to have taken refuge behind the high walls of the asylum out of fear of the unknown, a desire for security, or weariness of a routine existence. There, Veronika understands that, every minute of our existence, we have the choice between living and giving up, and that, to feel fully alive, she will have to acknowledge the part of madness she carries within her. "Stay crazy, but behave like normal people. Take the risk of being different, but learn to do it without attracting attention. And let your true self manifest. "What is the true self?" Veronika asks. "It's who you are, not what has been made of you." And Veronika, who was unable to grasp her own desires, will discover in Villete the freedom to surrender to them.

Title : Truths and Lies of Our Emotions - Serge Tisseron - Book Summary : After having long inspired mistrust, emotions now appear as a final refuge and a guarantee of authenticity: we must "do what we feel" and "feel what we do." Fine... but what if our emotions were deceiving us? There are some that we hide from ourselves, others that we forbid ourselves from experiencing because we were once ordered to do so, and still others that we believe are ours, but which have been introduced into us like a foreign body. Thus, when we are anxious, sad or frightened by life, it is not necessarily "us"... By knowing more about our family history, by interviewing our loved ones and by asking ourselves the right questions, we can let go of emotions that do not belong to us and welcome those that correspond to our own way of being in the world.

Title : Lives and Philosophical Opinions of a Cat - Hippolyte Taine - book Summary : I have studied philosophers and cats extensively. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior."

Title : Black City White City - Richard Price - book Summary : When a haggard and injured white woman arrives at an emergency room to report the assault she suffered and the kidnapping of her child by a black stranger, the investigation is entrusted to Inspector Council, himself black. A novel of shock between two communities - black and white, in a predominantly black New York suburb, this book is only superficially a "thriller." It is, as has been said, a novel of social and psychological scope, interweaving elements of the investigation and daily life with impressive intensity. The author's view of interracial relations is relentless and, while it does not inspire optimism, nevertheless makes this book impossible to put down before the last page.
