Hi /lit/.
I am looking for a book like pic related. It's basically a movie about not being happy with yourself. It has a little bit of fantasy and irony in the way the theme is developed.
Also general recommendations thread.

I don't understand why so many people come here saying "I like x movie. What books are like x movie."
Someone please explain this to me.

"Hi, I come from a different board and one of the most useful parts of this image board is that there are different sections for different interests. but because I never really got into the topic of this board in my youth I am very unaware of how to judge the content or experience it for myself, I would like a reference point to this other form of media/activity that is similar to a known media/activity. Could you help me with that?"

Have you ever felt that futile enlightment that a movie can give you? Have you ever read a book which has influenced you in such a way that you will never be the same again? If you know what I'm talking about, then you won't have any trouble understanding why would anyone want the same deepness of feelings from movies in the deepness of thought amd prose from books.

A Scanner Darkly by PKD is great, if you haven;t read that, semi-related because it revolves around identity crisis.

try Zeno's Conscience by Italo Svevo
he's very witty and in the book he psychoanalyzes his life. It's pretty cool

Flow My Tears is a better PKD book for identity crisis

Can you elaborate ?

Well Notes from Underground is nowhere near as bizarre, Being John Malkovich is about going through a door and literally crawling into the head of John Malkovich

It's literally about a guy who loses his identity lol
He was a famous talk show host and then he becomes a nobody.
Kind of.

and how is it better for identity crisis than A Scanner Drakly?
