Any GOOD books that will get me out of my debilitating obsession with death? How to live when you know there is an expiration date that renders everything null? No meme books, please. I'm looking for something that will seriously challenge my beliefs.

I guess you'd need a book that is all about the diverse joys of life to shift your focus away from death (if you went in the direction of fiction). Other than that I'd recommend "The Gay Science" by Friedrich Nietzsche as a pathway to developing a positive attitude towards life and through that away from death.

i'd think about possibly reframing your stated problem.

is the debilitation stremming from an obsession with death, or instead does death occupy your mind so much because it's the default concept a mind redounds to when one is debilitated owing to a fear of life?

If you are an atheist, why can't you be like the other atheists, that say "I'm not afraid of not existing, of dying, because I won't experience nonexistence so it surely can't be bad for me." If you are a theist, why think this way? Are you afraid your loved ones will suffer?

It's not that fun is bad even if it eventually ends, but it would still be better if it didn't end.
The things that really depress me though are not simple fun things, I know my children will eventually die, I know I will never see my great great grand children, everything I worked on will be forgotten and of course my consciousness will be gone. It will be in every way as if I have never existed, it's sad.

This. Good books will only confirm your existential angst. If you don’t want to worry about death, you should read bad books to distract you with mindless escapism.

Then maybe don't spend your life trying to build statues of yourself that last forever, maybe you should really focus on and enjoy having and raising your children and grandchildren once instead of being bummed that you won't get to repeat the process infinite times.

12. I wonder what she's listening to
13. i'll watch it again
14. why is she shaking her ass like that for the camera
15. *click back*
