I can't do it anymore, /lit/. I can't pretend I care about books. Literature is and always has been fraudulent, a horrendous imitator of life, a dusty and cracked mirror reflecting nothing. All of us are chasing ghosts who never lived at all, phantoms who promised answers and lessons they never knew themselves. Desperate for any alternative to living, we strain our ears to dead men, thinking ourselves wise and learned for doing so - but there are no answers, the same lies you've been hearing will again be whispered to the next man, over and over, because a world with the possibility of answers is preferable to the one without.

So now that I've come to that realization, what books should I read?
