What are some great books for a depressed, edgy 21 year-old?

The Bible

or The Quran, but be careful because that's a text that's meant to be taken literally (as opposed the Bible) - read some of the popular Sunnah's so you don't misinterpret the primary text and go full durka durka

on the heights of despair by emil cioran

it's only dismissed as edgy by the exact people that cioran dismisses as superficial fuccbois

Nearly all of Shakespeare.

No one actually reads Shakespeare, though. Everyone just lies about it.

Where? I couldn't find a pdf on the internet.

there's a good chance that no amount of reading will help you with this anon

if its real depression the roots are probably deeper than can be solved by intellectual gymnastics

"The Sorrow Proper" by Lindsey Drager

A deaf mathematician falls in love.
A library closes its doors for good.
Every word in this book has special meaning.

I don't care about overcoming it through books. I'm looking for books that can help me revel in my depression.

>>9254873
I feel you, anon. I don't particularly hate my job because I get to be distracted from the void for a while at least. But I feel you all the same.

This should have derailed the thread more than it did.

Infinite Jest then. When I was 19 and super depressed, one of the only things, maybe the only thing, I enjoyed doing was reading Infinite Jest. Usually really entertaining, and the sections about depression are super validating and just really nice to read.

I am also a depressed 21 year old looking for books to read. I am in China. I am sending you my love and I hope we can connect.
