What's the most depressing book you've ever read? For me it's probably Fowle's "The Collector".

That book didn't depress me, it made me mad as hell. Holy fuck that ending pissed me off.
It's not a depressing book.
It actually scared me a little since in some sense I empathized with the boring personality of the protagonist, and the fact what he thought was an innocent desire to simply have a woman beside him actually masked a lot of violence and confusion on his part. He's one of the finest "bad guys" in literature in my opinion.

I liked it, but it feels like Sartre jsut wanted an excuse to describe THINGS EXIST SO MUCH MAN.

yea but the mc couldn't cope with things existing. Its crippling and creates nausea.

Serene and delicate, poetic. Not particularly depressing, just sad in the way that life is inherently sad. A bit melodramatic towards the end. My favourite scene is near the beginning: looking out a train window as it emerges from a tunnel amid snow drowned slopes and villages and...there's something else our that window too, something you won't forget.

This book was absoulte garbage, not to mention took absolutely no effort to read. Not even minimalist in structure. Just bland and boring. Also the plot was predictable.
