Title says it all. Wanting a feel good story. Maybe one about redemption!

What are books that will turn a 25 year old nihilist into a bloomer?

>By age 25-30 3.9% of men and 5.8% of women will remain virgins
If you take into account that most of these people are probably incels, not volcels, that means people like myself are pretty rare birds. I even turned down sex with a girl that I loved. Who does that? A wizard, that's who. I'm a member of the elite wizard aristocracy. I have made it.

I'm a Zoomer has always been a bookworm here. finished two books, now the first one is ready for publication and I'm just waiting for the cover to be finished. I'm feeling better than I have in a while. real happy about this. when it's done and printed in less than a month, I'm going to visit my grandparents and give them a copy personally.

"Thirdly, there is the phase of perfected actuality, in which the many are one everlastingly, without the qualification of any loss either of individual identity or of completeness of unity...What is done in the world is transformed into a reality in heaven, and the reality in heaven passes back into the world. By reason of this reciprocal relation, the love in the world passes into the love in heaven, and floods back again into the world. In this sense, God is the great companion—the fellow-sufferer who understands."

I seem to have the opposite of seasonal depression - seasonal joy. Everything appears so clean and good now. The clouds look so puffy, the leaves so green.
>The lark's on the wing;
>The snail's on the thorn:
>God's in his heaven—
>All's right with the world!

I love life and I love God!

if you could go back in time to when you were a teenager and give yourself a reading list that would make your life better, what would be in it?

Any good bloomer books?

Man, I never grew out of Vonnegut. He may be my favorite author. Either him or McCarthy. Both just quintessentially American authors. I don't read him as "edgy" either, not sure why he gets that sentiment on here. He's a goofy guy who sees how crappy the world is and puts his spin on it, and he does it in a funny way. Wasn't there a review of Cat's Cradle or something where they said he makes you laugh but you feel bad about laughing? Sums it up pretty well.

It is okay to like things. It's also okay not to like things. I like Vonnegut, and Breakfast of Champions is my number one favorite novel of all time.

I am coming out of SAD depression, the darkest winter, I failed a lot of classes. Made little progress. but the sun is starting to shine the days are getting longer. I've got over a few deaths in the family I am feeling a little more energy. I want to read something that keeps me on this trajectory and makes me feel like life can be fun, absurd, playful, exciting, and I am in some kind of control, and it isn't just pain and tragedy.

What book shoot I read?

Ever since I fixed my lifestyle edgy/pessimistic/neurotic works no longer resonate with me. However, I still enjoy reading so I want something that resonates with my newfound joie de vivre.

Any recs?
