I'm 23, soon to be 24. I'm still rather young. I need something that will make me want to grab life by the balls, or just grow a pair of my own.

Aren't those depressing as fuck? I have Ligottis Conspiracy on my shelf but I'm afraid to read it. I need something to pull me out, not push me further down the void.

Philosophy: Who Needs It and pic related. If you want something deeper than meaninless platitudes, try the operants of this philosophy and its application of the "benevolent universe premise" and refutation of the "malevolent universe premise".

You asked for something life affirming. Cioran lived to 84. He was one based motherfucker. All the other existentialists as well.

No book recommended here will make you feel wholesome. If you just want anaesthesia go watch some CGDCT anime and get a waifu.
