Religion / spirituality
English term or phrase: was in for
Un tizio riceve un libro che parla di esperienze che cambiano la vita. Essendosi inspiegabilmente risvegliato dal coma, legge volentieri questo testo. R dice appunto: I was in for a mind-opening read.
Ho capito cosa intende, ma non riesco a renderla in italiano. Ero pronto per questo tipo di letture?
Grazie mille!

Asker: Scusa, intendevo che non l'ha ancora letto. Visto che non ha mai creduto in queste cose, dopo il coma si sente pronto per queste tematiche, quindi secondo me intende che ha una mente aperta.
