/r9k/ was looking for a list of books they would like.

So far I've got this:

Whatever -- Michel Houllebecq
Journey to the End of the Night -- Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Steppenwolf -- Hesse
Notes from Underground -- Dostoevsky
The Book of Disquiet -- Fernando Pessoa
The Stranger -- Albert Camus
Oblomov -- Ivan Goncharov


Think of anything else I can add?

They lament the fact they don't have a girlfriend because they are awful people

Or they lament the fact they don't have a girlfriend because they think all women are whores

>I, Claudius by Robert Graves

Have you read the sequel -- Claudius The God? It's also really good. His autobiography (Goodbye to All That) is one of the classic WWI memoirs.

Those are all good choices. I'd add Schopenhauer's Studies in Pessimism and Cioran's On the Heights of Despair for some nonfiction.

Looks like a bunch of intro to depression literature. Give them some cool shit because they probably fancy themselves artsy or creative or whatever:

Perdido Street Station
In Watermelon Sugar
10th of December
Anything Vonnegut
Rontel (perfect for r9k because they would idolize the protagonist and secretly consider themselves like him when in reality nobody can match his greatness)
A Scanner Darkly

You forgot parent-blaming and NEET circlejerks. But other than that pretty spot on.

/pol/ and /r9k/ are polar opposites in terms of temperament, but still awful for the exact same reasons
