No, I'm alright. I have a tendency to be melancholic and I'm just generally not very fond of the way the world is like (like most people surely), and find "that kind" of literature somehow comforting. It has a positive effect.

I find myself thinking of the "nothing can be gained from this confession" monologue more and more. Was the same age as you when I first read it. The thing about how no one pays attention to what he's saying really gets me. I've started saying insane shit while in convos with people for a while and they just don't fucking listen. All they're thinking about is what they're going to say when you stop speaking.

Easily hamlet I have read it many times, Sheakspeare's language is awesome the human experience condensed, thank god a anon with taste for poetry, Blake is one of my favourites too I would put him but no space. In English try Ginsburg or Wilde for queer if you mean gay idk or naked lunch/nova trilogy. If you mean just odd Keats awesome but bit too flowery, Poe, Snyder is good Buddhist/Taoist. Anon what's great about poetry is if you just learn the basics of a language, get a dictionary, you can self translate while reading original, then you open to Rimbaud, Naruda, Borges. Thanks anon for having a soul. Oh and Lear is awesome the quote sick in fortune, and the king who is flattered is very poniagnt to our times. Oh Timon of Athens is one of my faves aswell.

Discipline and Punish is great. It was the first book of philosophy I ever picked up, although I am certain I did not understand everything, the things I could understand were insightful to say the least. In retrospect now that I have read Nietzsche I can respect Foucault's archeology and arguments even more. It is very much so worth to read, even better with even a cursory understanding of Nietzsche; but very much worth it in it's own regard.
