I'm committing suicide in a few months, so I want to read all the books I heard about but never got around to reading.

Almost done Atlas Shrugged. It's entertaining, and not bad.

Any recommendations? I kinda prefer castaway, wilderness stories. Something with adventure, or survival.

There is a problem with your logic. When I was your age, I decided to do the same thing. I'm now 36 and still planning to off myself when I run out of great books. There are quite a fucking few great books out there.

As someone who has seriously considered suicide before, if death is really what you want then seeking out new knowledge is the worst thing for you. It will only lead to longing for more which in the long run will rekindle your passion for life. It's about as fucking horrible as it sounds.

Money represents a man's effort and the value society places on those efforts.
Society places more value on doctors than McDonalds workers


therefore a man's value to society is in the wealth that he has

she talks about that and how money is not the root of all evil but trade between men

Do not focus on reading books, but on writing them. Your life story will probably serve as valuable literature in the years to come. People write their best stuff while in a state such as your own. If you are committed to killing yourself, at least make sure that your story serves as a warning to others, or that someone doesn't reinterpret your life for you after you're gone. This assures that you have a lasting change on the world, long after you pass. Reading is nice, but you won't be able to use that knowledge when you're dead. So head my words, and go write something marvelous.
We're counting on you, Anon.
Best of luck.

I've considered suicide before but I know i'm just gonna die anyway. I just decided to live 100% on my own terms, which I recommend one do suicidal or not. I highly recommend Siddhartha by Hesse, Zen Mind: Beginner's Mind by Suzuki, Letters from a Stoic by Seneca for starters. All very easy reads, you can finish all 3 by this time next week.
