Naw, just whatever you can get your hands on first.

It really depends on what you're looking for. If you're just beginning to look into the subject, I think you should start by reading the book Notes on Suicide by Simon Critchley because he explains a number of different perspectives on suicide ranging from Christian to Buddhist to Philosophical and everything in between and lays out each of their arguments thoroughly so you can come to a conclusion on your own.

Personally, I like the writing of Camus on the subject, starting with Myth of Sisyphus and then reading his novels (especially The Fall and The Outsider). Quite a few great writers on suicide are in pic related and I definitely suggest reading Cioran, Miller, and Williams.

I feel some quality novellas or short stories should be included

My bad. I got sidetracked by dinosaur erotica.

I've done it, /lit/

I've finally read every fucking depressing read on this fucking list.

It was tough (FUCK "TESS", WHAT A FUCKING SHITTY READ), but I've done it.

Give me more, /lit/. Give me more books with which I can dig myself further into this pit of self-pity I've created for myself.

Another rec thread in disguise. You people do realize that there is a wiki, right?

Oh look, this thread again.

Looking for a good and depressingly sad title that will leave me fucked for a while. Be forewarned that I'm pretty resilient, so please no "Bridge to Terabithia." I'm talking depressing and devastating here.

Voila

Got any more recommended depressing literature? I've read every book on this chart except for Will O'The Wisp and This Business of Living due to their lack of availability in my area.

Why aren't any of Faulkner's, Hemingway's, or Kafka's works listed on the wiki's recommended depressing literature chart?
