what should i read next?
im a 2nd year on that finding myself shit, already read siddhartha and like some plato and epicurus and stuff, & had all those epiphanys about being myself and about what social interaction really is and like the human condition and junk, plus i already was pretty familiar with how interconnected shit is cause ive been object-oriented programming since i was like 8 or something, and i was a history geek in like high school or w/e so political philosophy is whatever, & already been through the woah dude drugs stage and that

what are some books you read at or around this stage of your life that you'd recommend someone else at a similar stage read? im a pretty smart guy who gets bad grades when im off amphetamines just like the rest of us

My grades started to slip when I started taking amphetamines. Mostly because I'd end up smoking pot and drawing all night.

I don't know. Read some Nabokov. He's great fun.

Lolita is his most accessible work, I guess. I'd recommend starting there, yes.

Most likely your ex was a moron. Be glad you're rid of her.
