This helped me through a lot of tough times. If I were less sleep deprived I'd analyze the complex themes. But all you need to know is, you are the little engine, and you can.

What's so good about it and why should NEETs read it? I have it on my e-book for god knows how long, but I always skip it, even though I don't know what it's about. I read and liked Norwegian Wood and 1Q84's first book.

>>24832451
I would say it's a must read for robots interested in spirituality and the like.

>>24832916

kind of reddit bit if you're underage it's a good read

that book is good if you're 13

It takes a truly world person to fully appreciate the messages in a mature way, only a neet is truly capable of appreciating Holdens struggle.

Or a Lit fag, but they dont live it themselves.

In any case, the messages are relevant to older people too

>>24833451
Actually this book isnt Reddit tier whatsoever, its good for robots in general
>>
>>24833451
The guy who literally made plebeian/patrician dichotomy a meme on 4chan lists this as one of his favorite books.

pls provide a source 2 that statement

It's a great book. I related to Holden far more than I should have.

He's not, but I see what you're saying.

Doubt there are many robots that interested in literature, otherwise they'd be on that board.

Not the same CLT.

If I'm gonna shitpost better do it on a board made for that purpose.

>>24834417
I've gotten some good recommendations there over the years

>>24834457
Yeah, eventually they discuss literature, but most of the time threads revolve around ChristianityIsCool/MarxismIsBad/ExistentialismAllDayEveryday.

I'm reading Murphy by Samuel Beckett

Avant-garde modernist fiction about a NEET whose oneitis wants him to get a job, so I think it'd be very fitting for /r9k/

The possesed / Demons is much better.

Platform by Michel Houellebecq.

It is in our relations with other people that we gain a sense of ourselves, it's that, pretty much, that makes relations with other people unbearable.

I absolutely loved reading this book but I used to be like 17 when I was reading it.
I'm just weirded out by the cover. the german book cover had the eye close-up of a cat on it and that looked way nicer for a book cover than that generic stupid hipster cat silhouette.

can totally recommend it either way.
I like Murakami's other books too.
I read "the wind-up bird chronicle" and "after dark". they are really good.

>What's so good about it and why should NEETs read it?

basically a story about a teenager running away from home and going on a journey because he hates all the normalfaggotry around him.

there is also a 2nd protag who's somewhat weird, mentally challenged and possibly autistic. this book's totally up r9k's alley.
>>
>>24836883
You forgot he fucks his mom

>>24836883
oh an also, the autist dude can make it rain frogs from the skies. dead give-away.

I didn't "forget". I give out a short synopsis and spare the details intentionally because spoilers.

Not a book, but Oyasumi Punpun is pretty good read, but it's really depressing.
Basically covers a 10 years span of how harsh and fucked up reality/life can be.
People with shit lives continue suffering

>Reading translated novels
Read it in the original language or don't fucking read it.
