/lit/ - Literature

So i have a friend who just walked the camino and towards the end of the pilgrimage he broke down and wept in reverence for god. I feel like i havent felt an emotion that pure in my life, i feel as an unenthusiastic atheist my life is extremely superficial and lacking of real meaning, i basically want to give myself up to a higher being, to have something to believe in, to anchor me against the torrents of superficiality, i want to weep like aloysha following the death of father zosima, i want to be held by god and shielded the tempestuous abyss, something to give me meaning under the endless pit of the skydome.


basically i want some writers who will help change my perspective, and allow me to believe, because right now it just seems like nonsense, used to con children and the gullible, mostly ive only got gene wolfe and dostoevsky so far, who else?
