Dearest /lit/,
I just went through a bad breakup. Now I come home from work every day to an empty two bedroom apartment and ask myself what for. I need something to read. Perhaps something consolatory, perhaps something which merely offers a little escape. I need something to fill the empty time in this empty time.
Please, anything.

And then listen to Pet Sounds full blast. One of the best albums to cleanse the soul with.
Thank you, anons.

I have read this and I liked it a lot.
This is perhaps irrelevant but my favorite things to read are Nietzsche, Sophocles and Shakespeare.
Read War & Peace. It's written in a pretty simple style, it's heavy but not in a way that's painful for someone going through a breakup, and it's healing and comfy at the end.
I read it after a really, really bad breakup and it put a lot of things in perspective and made me feel like a person again. I would highly recommend you don't read Anna Karenina.

Oh and it's 1200 pages so it's easy to escape into for a pretty solid amount of time, and intensely.
