I really need a book in my life which is about fulfillment, one which will teach me how to lead a fulfilling life. Please no religious garbage, believing in things which don't exist is for retards.

>>8586239
there is no fulfillment. read schopenhauer and stop believing in made up shit.
>>
OP you have a shit attitude to begin with, so you would need to work on that before you will find fulfillment.
>religious people are retarded
This is what I mean.

Maybe instead try to find books which will help you become open minded.

>Maybe instead try to find books which will help you become open minded.
the good thing about science is it's true whether or not you believe in it. have you ever heard anyone give you evidence that there's an afterlife? No, it's made up and anyone who doesn't realize that is a massive fucking retard, and it only proves that some people really do have lower functioning brains.

Just finished the fourth and final revision of the fifth chapter of my book. Just ten more chapters to go and then it's done. Unfortunately I did the celebratory drunkenness in advance so nothing for me tonight. It's happening. And I believe in this one, too. It's not like other stuff I wrote. I'm confident in it.

It's very exciting. I'm really looking forward to the rejection letter!

writers make jack shit. Even Stephen King drags a long a measly existence. Maybe JK Rowling has money but that's about it. Every other writer in the world is literally starving to death and turning tricks on the streets. You can walk to the corner of a Brooklyn Bodega and get a blowjob from Don DeLillo and have Pynchon scrounging for the leftovers.

The exit-level chart includes The Recognitions - how is this in any way depressing? What part of it will make me want to kill myself?

Also, post exit-level lit ITT. I need some more suggestions since the only chart is small.

There's a lot of debate about what the creator of that chart meant by 'exit level'. The leading theory is that it is simply a collection of the creator's favourite books and he has a penchant for depressing lit, but not exclusively.

>>8585703
What chart are you talking about? Could you post it please?

By exit they meant suicide.
