/lit/ - Literature

Books that are about the relationship of the individual and a decaying world overtaken by technology, on overcoming nihilism, on being true to oneself in a world where most have abandoned truth?

Preferably with actual praxis.

>Abused as a child
>Developed a submissive and timid personality with low self-esteem and self-loathing qualities
>Long term depression, social anxiety, complex trauma disorder
>Don't really care about life, feel it's something to be coped with rather than enjoyed, everyday is a chore

Any books that you can recommend me? I know therapy before you say but it's not really an option at the moment but I will try at some point. I just need something I can relate to.

Someone recommended me Dostoevsky, so i'm going to get C&P, Notes from the Underground, and Brothers Karamazov.

I'm looking for books/poetry that's violently poetic. I guess Blood Meridian counts, but i'm having a hard to coming up with anything else.

Even though it's an album, Master of Puppets is another of the type of work i'm looking for.

Do you agree /lit/?

What are some good Vietnam War Memoirs? Firsthand accounts from people who were there.

Is there a reccomendation image or route when beginning to look at art history or appreciating art in general. I like going to art galleries and would like to have a better grounding in what seperates them and why some pieces and artists are considered so important.
