Suicidal isnt a mental state that anyone can understand beside yourself. Be more descriptive of what you want

is Tao Lin actually any good? I've seen people say he's OK, and other people say he's trash.

>>8047805
better than dfw at least

>>8047805
I think hes good but read his poetry first. At first youll think its shit but its more nuanced and carefully composed at second and third glance.

>>8047780
If you want a philosophical solution:
The Myth of Sisyphus by Camu

If you want a novel
Infinite Jest by DFW

Unironically

If you want to find hope:
The Book of Job.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Tolstoy ( You need to realize that Ivan led a mediocre and blank life but died so we can live and realize life is not meant to be lived following what others expect of you

If you want more despair:
Journey to the end of the Night - Celine
The Clown - Böll
Against the Grain - Huysmans

Hunger is also a good book in any case.

>The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Tolstoy
what translation do you recommend?

>>8047817
>its more nuanced and carefully composed at second and third glance
>forcing yourself to like garbage

I'm disappointed in you.

>>8047862
I didn't read it in english, neither in russian.
So I can't help you with that.
And the translation I read was the only available in my language.
Anyhow, for what I could gather on /lit/ apparently there is a couple of translators that shared letters with Tolstoy and it seems they are the best one.

omni pls dont do it

>solution
>solution is to embrace the absurd while ignoring the negative utility

Great Solution Al

>>8047821
I don't think you understood or thought critically about either of them

>>8047966
>negative utility

When is this meme going to end? I am tired of people acting like there is some sort of formula that proves life is not worth living. I sure as hell haven't seen it.

Does it bother anyone else that he protagonist author stand-in doesn't end up killing herself but Plath did? Like it kind of invalidates whatever resolution Plath makes in the book because they apparently weren't good enough even for her.

I usually drink coffee at 5am outside my front yard when I'm really really fucking sad. I usually drift into a peacefully mellow mood afterwards

Why are these dumb posters on /lit/?
Go back to /b/.

I'd become suicidal if I had to read the ramblings of a petit-bourgeois SJW basic bitch

>>8050962
...she wrote it before she killed herself you fucking dunce.

The attempts however were in fact hers.

There are levels of hope and perseverance to be gleaned from pessimism. You'd already know this if you weren't such a surface reader.
