What are some books that are both happy and sad? I'm not sure how to describe it exactly, but like Walser's writing (for those who have read it). It's like this bittersweet feeling, that life is beautiful, joyful, oppressive, and cruel, all at the same time.

Tolstoy
Musil?
Lotta Japanese lit is like this I think as well. Try Mishima's short stories Death in Midsummer and Patriotism

Only semi on topic, but I suggest you read Walter Benjamin's essay on Walser, it elucidates that mysterious, bittersweet quality of his writing.
