I'm looking for a classical Novel or book about living life to the maximum, about seizing the day, a book about Carpe Diem !

What book do you recommend?

I suggest you should read OSHO meditation series...especially the one named "I Teach Fearlessness"

It's been a while since I've read it, but isn't that what Kerouac's On The Road is all about?

Yes.

How about Jack London's "Martin Eden."

Shakespeare - especially Henry IV parts 1 & 2 -- Falstaff really knows how to seize the day!

I am not totally sure about what you mean by 'classical'. There is always the stoic philosophy of Marcus Aurelius in his Meditations.

I have joined new courses about how you could seize you day and take advantage of any opportunity you meet in your life and by doing that you change your life and other people life to have excellent day.

:lol: I almost died when I read this.

I guess I'd reccomend Catcher in the Rye. It always makes me want to take off.
