Looking for recommendations to get into deeper works of nihilism. Not really for any other purpose than the kind of wild appreciation that comes with confronting the insanity of the world. Need not be works of literature, I'm actually hoping for some philosophy recommendations as well. Figured I would start the thread here though instead of /his/ in that literary recommendations are fine too, and I'm not really looking to discuss nihilism as a conceptual "framework." Also, smut is fine too. Hogg, etc.
>inb4 fedora bullshit
>inb4 Bataille isn't a nihilist. I know. But his works tend in that direction.
will bump with a few further works.
What do u hope to get out of Nhilism?
Its meaningless to believe in nhilism as well as practice it if that's what u truly believe

It's not what I believe. It's just fun to indulge in every now and then.
I'm actually quite concerned about nihilism, in the Heideggerian/Nietzschean sense. But as far as literature and philosophy? It's not bad to entertain/understand or at least appreciate on a certain level.

Shakespeare's great tragedies are very nihilistic, and also are his comedies but on a lesser intensity.

Kill yourself and become God. It's the only way.

Okay, thanks. It's been far too long since I've read Shakespeare. Perhaps I'll take a look at that soon. Although, admittedly, he's not quite what I'm hoping to read. But perhaps with this type of approach to his works I'll get something new out of it.
the recent meme that has been catching attention here... which is kind of interesting.

Thank you. I actually just got accepted to NSSR's grad program, but of course: no funding.
Some "nihilist" (Batailledean) film.

Merci.
What of pic related? I know he was influential on Deleuze/Guattari, but has anyone read him? Any work in particular aside from pic?

This is a great book, a weirdly poetic and clinical description of his drug intake.

I forgot to add you could read "Plume", a collection of poems featuring a somewhat otherworldly character.
