My Twisted World by Elliot Rodger.

I was young and impressionable in college and the Republic blew my mind. I've never really been able to shake the subsequent sympathy for Platonic Realism that developed. Even though in my head I have a more nuanced conception of metaphysics now, my heart still belongs to the Forms.

I'm conflicted on Cioran, I worry sometimes that he is right, but then other times I feel that he needs to just get over himself.

For me it was the Decline of the West, by Oswald Spengler. That civilization as organism idea just completely changed my view of reality
