Which books left you feeling optimistic and eager to make the best of your life?

>The reason I'm asking
Though I don't consider myself a miserable person, I have always had a depressive streak in me and a couple of years ago, I went through a long spell of feeling suicidal. Ever since, I feel like I have lost the will or ambition to dream about better times ahead. It's as if I have resigned to the fact I will someday just end it all so what is the point of even trying.

I'm not into fantasy, politics or any other weird shit, if that helps.
