Murakami's Norwegian Wood made me less depressed, or at least less suicidal, but that may be peculiar to me. It might make you more suicidal. But you've probably already read it.

I found all of Murakami's novels and short story collections enjoyable.

His non-fiction book of interviews of survivors of the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo metro was fascinating. Don't know if it'll make you less depressed in the long term but it might at least distract you from derpression for a bit.

Read some Marcus Aurelius, Seneca or Epictetus.

I'm in a similar boat. Reading John Cage's writing and thinking about his compositional practice has been helping me appreciate all the little pieces of sense data I'm inundated with all the time. It doesn't do anything to solve a lot of my problems, but it makes each moment nicer, which adds up over time.

Do something frantic to ward off ennui. Join the French Foreign Legion or something. Reading will not do shit.
