I'm depressed, I currently hate myself and I hate my life. I have no motivation to even pick up a book but whatever, here we are...any books that might help? Thanks

A book is not going to fix you or your current predicament; it is clear that you don't even have the willpower to try, as you already know and understand what I am telling you. Close your browser.

Unironically, Haruki Murakami. There's something about him that puts me in 'another place'. He writes stories that well and truly let me step outside my world for a few hours and just enjoy his world. I can't explain it, but I find him spiritually fulfilling when I'm in a deep funk.

Nobody is getting filtered by your shit YA-tier airportlit author. You do not need to feel so protective over your pig-at-the-trough taste in books. You cannot even read his works in their native language, so stop talking you sad, unbearable excuse for a man.

If your a neet. Then the answer is give up your phone. Rilkes idea of getting used to loneliness is an interesting idea to explore. You have to test different ideas until you succeed.

Now why would you stop using your phone? Well its because most people use them and are utterly mediocre. So do something that makes you feel superior to other people. And then you have some gold you can hold onto.

What makes you think you're above posting on /r9k/? Go back there and update your fellow commiserators with your gay little blog.
/lit/ is for the discussion of literature. All posts should concern a specific book or an author in relation to their books. /lit/ is not for "my life is gay...oh yeah book" posts you little faggot.

He's right. Murakami pumps 50 Shades of Grey type novels but with a veneer of "intellectualism" so it can pretend it is literature. It's why dumb white women love Murakami so much.

Reading in another language is so foreign to you that you cannot even fathom another human being doing it. You are irredeemably pathetic. Many such cases with monolingual retards.
Yes, some people actually read works of authors and judge them on individual merit. If you actually read literature, you would understand this. Evidently, you do not.
