Is there a book that can cure my utter disgust with society? With each passing day I become more and more dissatisfied with the actions of not just my peers, but of the media, of our supposed "role models", and of our government. I want to believe that things will turn out alright in the end, but the foreseeable future only entails irrationality and suffering for anyone who tries to participate in society.

there's no way you talk like this in real life. you sound like you're roleplaying some angsty stock character.

It's the greatest novel ever written in the English language?

It's a tabula rasa, just like ole Moby D himself

are you capable of original thought? maybe you should research and find out yourself because no one else seems to give a shit

I don't know where else to turn and I am going to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage if I don't remedy this situation; /lit/ please help.
I'm having one of those moments where a word that I employ frequently in writing has utterly escaped my mind and I cannot recollect it for the life of me.
It's a word for experiencing things on a basic level, not intellectually, more emotionally or in a primal fashion. Words that are coming into my mind by way of association are hedonistic and intrinsic.
I would really appreciate some help. Not sure where the fuck my brain is at but this is ridiculous.

Is a book about true depression/apathy/nihilism impossible because a truly depressed/apathetic person would not have the motivation or desire to write a book?

There was some guy a few years ago who took a lot of uppers and wrote a huge "philosophical" work on why supposedly life is bad, then killed himself.
>>
>>8483409
No.
Nihilism doesn't necessarily constrain motivation.
You don't have to be truly depressed or apathetic to write about it.

I have googled for about an hour and this seems to be impossible to find out there, just wanted a PDF.
Anyone have it or know how to find PDFs of old, slightly obscure books?

You can borrow it here and screencap every page to create a pdf for yourself.

Thanks, will do. It's only 263 pages so it's not too bad. I did come across that but had no idea how to get a daisy key.

He wrote books, didn't he. That's your answer.

his papa was a poet so probably him

>>8483391
Probably Andrei Tarkovsky. But seriously, there is no one person, maybe a combination of Dostoevsky and someone

Let's play a game. We take proper names and rearrange the letters to form a description of that person.
Lets start:

/lit/, what is the most patrician literary-related name to name a cat?
Bad examples of pleb/normie ones would be shit like Hemingway or Dante. It needs to be patrician.
