Hey /lit/ I hope you are having a great day,
I need small help finding book(s):

>Friends all got jobs/gfs/moved away
>Suddenly have no one to hang out with
>All I do now is go out for a walk everyday to deal with the loneliness.

I know that this is natural and a lot of you have probably already experienced this. But is there any book/story to help get through this feel? eating healthy and exercising helps definitely but I'm just curious if theres actually any literature on growing up/being comfortable alone. Im not looking for a magical solution to loneliness just seeing if theres anything that can help/helped you.

OP here, my fav books are 100 Years, Kafka on the Shore, Flowers for Algernon and Grapes of Wrath... IN case you have too many ideas and needed narrowing down.

I just read something to take my mind off of it. Usually some 19th century slice of life. Hawthorne, Austin, and the Bronte Girls are my only friends now.

I'm in a similar place in my life too. Lately I've taken to The Wheel of Time series for an escape. Fantasy helps because you get to stick with characters for a very long time (I think 15 books, each over 700+ pgs). I don't read all day or anything to escape. But it's nice that when I do read, it's comfy. I read a lot of challenging stuff while the rest of my life was together. Now comfy helps

Any saga maybe will help you, for the extension. In other case, philosophy will help you, except if you're a /fit/izen. If you're one of these Meditations is obligatory
