Teacher of RE, Mr Khan’s choice is, of course, one to get your minds thinking. The book grapples with the major questions of human existence: birth, death, God, time, relating to others and how to make ourselves get out of bed in the morning!

The Trouble with Being Born By E.M. Cioran

“I love it because it found me and changed my life. It is the reason I have a degree in Philosophy and in Theology as well as the reason I am a teacher of philosophy, religion and ethics. The author shamelessly exposes the reality that none of us asked to be born and then necessarily have to die. He highlights the predicament we are all forced into… and out of.” “There was a time when time did not yet exist. … The rejection of birth is nothing but the nostalgia for this time before time.”
