What are some good nihilistic books? I hate pretty much everything right now and I'm in the mood for some bitter, nihilistic writings

Wait one second and I'll get you a list, but for now, just a pro tip: nihilistic isn't really a word. You mean just plain "nihilist."

>> No.911534

Go read Marcus Aurelius' meditations if you want something of substance.

Don't go down the nihilistic road if you're bitter. Not worth it.

The purpose of the book is to make one secure in one's bodily functions, because one is not unusual or deformed in that activity. It's a book about self-esteem.
