What are some books where the protagonist realizes he wasted his life?

>What are some book where I can self insert to continue wasting my life, rather than putting a deliberative effort towards improving it?

Onwards and upwards, anon. Your life only gets better when you abandon what ties it down.

Not in the way you think. Stoner’s life is both wasted and special, withal, his life is made unique by the shortcomings and lukewarm successes. Its heart is in the dull realities, ineptitudes, and weakness of character we are all prey to, and will one day, all of us, have to reckon. Ideally with grace—as Stoner.
