Does anyone have some good books about food and not eating it?

To Start.
Kafka obviously.
Hunger by Knut Hamsun.
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
I've heard the Life and Times of Michael K by Coetzee is good for his but I've never read it.

The only manner of suicide he finds acceptable is the ascetic saint's death by suicide, which he said was the highest for of ascetic will.
Since he also said the only argument against suicide is it prevents you from attaining the highest moral status.
