I'm looking for a certain kind of literature, but I don't know what to call it. It's not nihilism per se. I do believe most of the things we take for granted are lies and misunderstandings and that at the end everything is meaningless, obviously. I'm looking for books that look at life with a deeper understanding than monotheistic religions do. I'm looking for "Yes, things may seem meaningless BUT... " I don't believe in the christian god, but I believe in the power of words, and the universe... please help.
