I think you have a brilliant mind...Care to book rec?

Ahh, thanks haha! Of course:

The Hour of Our Death by Philippe Ariès, a historical-psychological study that traces how Western attitudes toward death have evolved and what that reveals about the psyche.

Powers of Horror by Júlia Kristeva, ideas and insight into abjection and how it relates to women in horror.

Agua Viva by Clarice Linspector, a poem in prose, in which the life of everything that is, intensely, is celebrated.

Pale Fire by Vladmir Nabokov, a novel disguised as a poem with commentary, where an unreliable editor hijacks the text to weave his own delusional tale of exile, obsession, and identity.

Not really Hannibal-related, but do you know any other good series to watch that are somewhat intriguing as Hannibal Lecter? I'm having some troubles finding ones that can pick my interest

Nothing will peak your interest in the same way as Hannibal does because it is very specific. Specially if it had your interest in the relationship dynamic between two male characters. That’s even rarer. Some people like Killing Eve, and also Interview With a Vampire. I think those are the closest you’ll get to something Hannibal.
