I Am Legend because it tapped into my loneliness and social isolation
Songs Of A Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti made me uncomfortable and the language used for descriptions was intoxicating at times
The Sluts by Dennis Cooper disturbed me to my core. One moment made me cross my legs in discomfort another made me put the book down and go "ah fuck..." in disheartenment.

The soul, or the self, is simply a bundle of ever-changing properties. A self-conscious Nothing. Caring about your future self is tantamount to caring about a different person. The empathy we have for our future selves is only so strong because we have memory of a past self. It is nothing more than fallacious inductive reasoning. The exam you are studying for is not done for you, but for a future self that is foreign to you. True egoism is achieved when we abandon all commitment to our future selves and truly live in the moment.
