I don't suggest books, I suggest action. At 18 anyone can find a future. Don't piss away your formative years faggot

but if you NEED some books ....

The Odyssey
Metamorphoses
Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost
Moby Dick

The Gospel according to John.

There are like 4 active threads about committing suicide, overcoming existential crisis, getting over your loved one, all on the front page, all about being 18 years old. I think we are getting trolled. That or come the fuck on. People have been telling you kids to read the Bible since you were 4 years old.

All 18-year-olds are lonely and have no future. That feeling doesn't go away unless you actively try and make something of yourself.

I don't think being on 4chan's gonna help.

>t. 19 year old

Mate, if you think you have 'no future' now just wait until you are in your 30s.

Yeah reading that book, he clearly has problems that transcend money.

Even when he gets a sizable allowance he just drinks it away and spends it on hookers.

He's probably got aspergers because throughout the entire novel he fails to understand social queues and his anxiety stems from that. I wouldn't find him so insufferable if he didn't simultaneously think himself brilliant while also succumbing to his own self-pity.

As someone who pissed away his formative years, put your energy in to your future while you still can. I no longer can and it's a living hell.
