The Confessions of St. Augustine
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA bishop spends several hundred pages arguing with his own younger self, and loses more often than you would expect from a saint. The famous line about restless hearts is worth the whole detour through his adolescence. It is the oldest kind of memoir this library keeps: a man watching himself become someone else.
