Books/Authors similar to cormac McCarthy, Ernest Hemingway, mark twain or Herman Melville that you lot would recommend? Preferably in a late 19th, early 20th century America but I'm not fussed

Doing stuff takes your depression away. My aunt heats her home with a wood fireplace, and I spent a weekend cutting up wood for the winter. I was the happiest I've been in a long time that weekend.
Chopping wood for most of the day, eating her home cooked food and being exhausted at night felt great.

Loki said:
“Hush thee, Freya,a whore thou art,
and aye wast bent on ill;
in thy brother’s bed the blessed gods caught thee,
when, Freya, thou didst fart.”
What did they mean by this?

For some context, Freyja is meant to be the most beautiful and lovely of all the Aesir, and she has power over love and relationships. She's basically the Norse version of Aphrodite. It's like if one day on Olympus all the Greek gods were milling about and suddenly Aphrodite let one rip.

I want to become religious but I just can't believe in God. I've studied both catholicism and orthodoxy and I find both religions to be absolutely fantastic, specially when you leave the confines of the official liturgy and rituals and enter the realm of folk catholicism, for example. I've found such a rich, poignant tradition and yet I feel I'll never be a real part of it because I can't believe in God. How did you come to believe in God, /lit/? Are there any authors who helped you to finally believe again? I've read a lot of Dostoyevsky but didn't find his approach satisfactory. What fiction writers deal with folk religion?

Unironically C.S. Lewis
Also it sounds like you have the wrong reasons for approaching religion.

I like the part at the end of Anna Karenina when Levin suddenly realizes that god is the answer, and nothing comes of it.

right, because the realm of eternal torment, of wailing and gnashing of teeth, is basically a pub where you sit around a table and shoot the breeze with your favorite authors.

What's some good literature that elicits a 'body horror' feeling? Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors, and I even loved his novel (which, naturally, captures the feeling I'm seeking). I'm not necessarily looking for works that fall into the conventions of the horror genre, but I'm not totally opposed to such suggestions either; I have Barker's Books of Blood on my backlog.

Forgot to mention: I'm not just interested in decay and mutilation and etc. for its own sake. One of my favorite things about Cronenberg is how the visceral and cerebral are made interdependent, and I'd love to read some material in a similar vein.
>>
>>9282877
Cronenberg cites William Burroughs as a big influence.
Check out Cities of the Red Night, Naked Lunch, The Place of Dead Roads and Western Land
>>
>>9282877
Dude, Cronenberg even made a Naked Lunch adaptation. You should be able to figure it out.
