Herbert conceived Dune while he was high on THC candy

You should make this thread more often.

In need of post-modern recs.

When it comes to nothing in philosophy, it is natural to think of Martin Heidegger and his work Being & Time as well as Sartre’s Being & Nothingness. Since I have no fucking clue what Heidegger meant and I only understand Sartre while eating croissants, I will simply mention them and move along to the question of whether or not men can think or do nothing.

Like all men, I purport to be able to think nothing. To be specific, if a man is asked by his significant other “what are you thinking”, then the best bet is that he will respond by saying “nothing.” It is, of course, tempting to infer that a man says this because he is aware that saying what he was really thinking will result in a look of disgust, a slap, or both. However, men do claim to actually be thinking of nothing (at least at times). This raises the obvious question of whether or not this is even possible.

Hey /lit/
I'm a 20 year old depressed manchild who wants to learn about philosophy.
What would be the best book -in your opinion- to start?
It might sound gay but if it was a tad nihilistic and/or morbid it might help.
Thanks
