wisdom

4chan exists for prospecting impulsive thoughts anonymously through the internet which typically results in ironic pop-culture statements such as what the fuck do you have to feel bad about in life as the age of 19 when you have barely lived because i have cum that is encrusted to the density of rhinestones on my shower that is older than you
>>
Norwegian Wood. You're the same age as the protagonist too.

This guy has good advice >>9455306

Going off of that I'm still gonna rec you some shit.

>TC Boyle stories
to remember that life is an absurd clusterfuck and shouldn't be take all too seriously.

>Raymond Carver stories
if you wanna get depressed by the realization that everyone on this planet really is just as mediocre as a roadside diner in bumfuck Iowa, but theres still a broken beauty inside of it in it's pretty neon lights and the joking way the truckers flirt with the waitress. (Not the basis of one of his stories, just conveying the feel)

>Sun Also Rises
nothings more tragic than a great romance ruined by the fact that someone got his dick shot off in the war.

>Autobiography of Red
I just think its a comfy fuckin book
>>
Pan by Hamsun is the best you'll get
>>
>>9456955
Victoria by Hamsun fits the bill too.

Endless Love by Scott Spencer. Really made earning your red wings seem appealing.
