ITT: books you weren't expecting to depress you but did.

Pic related: Lev Grossman's The Magicians, because I strongly identified with the main character. What about you, /lit/?

The Natural.

I did not know what I was getting into when I picked it up.

Great fucking book, but damn that was a downer ending if there ever was one.

It was a brilliant read, especially the end. I mostly found the romance depressing because I'd just gotten out of a relationship.

I'm planning on picking up Spring Snow soon.

I doubt it. I didn't read the book for any class, I just picked it up because someone recommended it to me.

I might have recommended it to you. This is too strange.
