Let's start by eliminating books you've already read. Give us a general list of what we don't need to recommend anymore.

>>29487467
You don't need to worry about that, just recommend me and others a list of must reads in your opinion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations

Be like a rocky promontory against which the restless surf continually pounds; it stands fast while the churning sea is lulled to sleep at its feet. I hear you say, "How unlucky that this should happen to me!" Not at all! Say instead, "How lucky that I am not broken by what has happened and am not afraid of what is about to happen. The same blow might have struck anyone, but not many would have absorbed it without capitulation or complaint." (IV. 49, trans. Hicks)
If thou art pained by any external thing, it is not this that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it. And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now. (VIII. 47, trans. George Long)

yeah i should read that

Can particularly vouch for A Confederacy of Dunces. The protagonist is the average 4channer.
