Hello /lit/

I finally got a new cellphone so I can read books on it, and was wondering which ones should I search in these times of crisis.
My favorite book is The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and Douglas Adams is as well my favorite author.
Then I enjoyed 1984, Animal Farm, and The Road.
Could you give me some suggestions please?

No, what is about? I like grim stories but not the cliche ones... it's difficult to explain

This reads like babby read a Nietzsche book, never learned how to write or think and tried to emulate his style to closely. It’s sophomoric, tacky, cringe, and turgid all in one, amongst other terrible writing habits. You should show it to someone you know personally before shilling it on here for 6+ years, because I bet you’d turn red from the embarrassment.

the ootw guy is a narcissistic clown but I'm sure he has read all of Nietzsche and basically understood it. The guy genuinely is Nietzschean in outlook

I think you might enjoy Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series. He's quite funny at times.

Oh right! but are the story crazy "just because" or things have slowly some meaning?

Its a somewhat eccentric fantasy world told in an amusing way. The stories are funny because the characters are funny. The Color of Magic is the first book, but you can jump in at any point depending on what you feel like. See attached for the various arcs
