Hey, /lit/. I'm 18 I've never really been a huge book guy aside from graphic novels and fantasy books. Recently, I've had an impulse to read some literature. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book to start with existentialism or depression closure? I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety with problems seeing only the worst in most things, so I'd like to be immersed in a story aswell as to gain some insight.
Read Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima you big baby

Herion Diaries by nikki sixx, if you like cassic rock you will love this. Its about the bassist to motley crue (nikki sixx) going through his drug problems! The book itself was his experiences while high/afterwards and how it ruined his life! I dont read much but by far my favorite book! Plus nikki sixx has a small vocabulary haha

I used to be heavily into rock star/drug autobiographies and I have to say that Heroin Diaries is decent but not great. Scar Tissue (Anthony Kiedis) and Permanent Midnight (Jerry Stahl) are MUCH better heroin books imo. Also I can't tell if you are trolling.
