So, I've been reading On the Heights of Despair and so far it seems like a huge depressive circlejerk. It is extremely quotable but it seems to be rather pointless. Should I bother finishing?

Cioran is for admiring the prose and being vaguely shocked by his enormous hair.

Can't deny he writes well, but I guess I will move on and will keep getting the quotes when I need. Some personal favorites(not essentialy from this book):
>I would like to be free, totaly free... free like an aborted child.
>He who has never envied the vegetable has missed the human drama.

It's up to you. I don't find it pointless, it gives great company

He's more enthusiastic on Heights, go with Trouble or Decay for more dismal and mature ideas.
