It may seem like a silly choice, but I find Haruhi relatable, and her "I can do anything I want, how I want" attitude is pretty inspiring.

This shit has legitimately made me more confident however there's a catch. It works like a buff in a game and the effects only last for a short time. If I stop reading it then the confident boost is pretty much gone but if I read a little of it daily then I can maintain the increased confidence. Takes effort but it's pretty much the only book that has worked for me in that regard.

Once you go to hell you're there for eternity anon. Better to try to escape it sooner than later.

Only by trying and wanting to escape do you place yourself in hell. Hell can only be hell if you have hope.
