/lit/ - Literature

I read mostly fiction books up until 2 years ago. Reading fiction is very enjoyable(most of the time), but I feel hungry for knowledge.
A lot of things interest me but I can't say concretely what interests me. I just want to know more about everything. Whenever I stumble upon some twitter post about history, mythology(any), psychology, anthropology, technology, philosophy, art or even stuff like the occult and conspiracy theories I find myself enthralled. I want to know EVERYTHING.
It's really hard to choose which direction to go and what book to read next.
What should I do /lit/?

Books for this feel?

Art is the only thing that makes life tolerable.
Life outside of art can only be made tolerable by viewing it aesthetically - a funny conversation, view it as a comedy, a depressive episode, view it as a depressing work of art, a moment of being alone outside is a rush of emotion leading to a kind of Joycean epiphany. The only way to make life feel real is to detach myself from it and pretend that it isn't. This actually works during depressive episodes to an extent but not for long, and it doesn't make it stop it just makes it seem to have a purpose. The moment I have done something involving interacting with the world outside of my head it doesn't feel real in my head.
Is there a name for this phenomenon? Are there any books on it? I'm reading The Book Of Disquiet and Pessoa clearly had this as well

I might be way off Target but I'm assuming this is done out of longing for a daughter? I'm sorry to hear that friend.

Does any other board have more of a problem with off topic threads than /lit/? This is a literature board that in a broader sense is a 'good taste in art' board, and I'm actually fine with that to an extent because /tv/ is unusably bad, but the other day we had some fag coming over from /a/ to settle a dispute about whether /lit/ likes his shitty meme Rick and Morty fanbase shounen and the thread stayed up, meanwhile /a/ itself is militant on off topic threads.

Doesn't the mandatory exchange of labor for food qualify as a form of oppression?

If the ultimate goal is to be free of all oppression, you have to die.

Dad let it slip that he had surgery for skin cancer.
Mom's upset because she hadn't told her parents. Brother's being insensitive to mom.
I think my mom's on her period on Christmas again.
Tension rides the air.

I already found her and she makes me not care that life is pointless and I stop thinking about how society works for two seconds when I'm with her.

That's why I think OP could use it. I don't care if love is brain chemicals, she justifies my existence
