If you didn't relate with this book, minus perhaps the womanizing bits, you don't belong here.

Not that depressing desu

>>7599525
Yeah. It's not like the author killed himself after or something like that.

If you are so sensitive then maybe just stick to the Terry Pratchetts.

> “People talk of “social outcasts.” The words apparently denote the miserable losers of the world, the vicious ones, but I feel as though I have been a “social outcast” from the moment I was born. If ever I meet someone society has designated as an outcast, I invariably feel affection for him, an emotion which carries me away in melting tenderness.”

I read this recently due to its recommendation in one of the "depressing books" thread. It's bleak as hell but perhaps not as depressing as I would of expected. The author's suicide certainly causes the reader to look at the novel under a different sort of lens, though. I loved the beginning with the description of the photographs.
