I sat down last night with my new kindle I only got that day, and I was having chest pains and a general panic attack. Flipping through the ebook packs recommended through /lit/ for something easy to read to take my mind of it, all I could find was shit written from the point of view of disgusting people, from Catcher in the Rye to Murakami's shit.

Fuck me, today I just went and downloaded a bunch of redwall and garth nix and some other stuff I remember reading when I was young. That horrible shit with honest human characters nearly drove me insane in that particular moment, I wanted to scream.

Read pre-modern literature. Modern art is obsessed with mental illness and decadence. The old artists actually cared about form and beauty.

Yeah check it out, I already started. have an excerpt:

Chapter '!'

"I can't not have sex," I thought into my cheerios. I sipped orange juice. It was warm. Then I thought about Her.

Seriously though, it fucking killed me, I was clutching my chest and wishing death on every single college student and smoker in the world.

Baby, I'm not convinced you're "getting" nihilism yet and I'm started to think you just like to get gaped not understand human relations. Go back to discussing toys with your "hos" now, I have deeper voids to gaze into.
