ITT: Must read for an illitirare NEET

Watching only Colbert and/or Trevor Noah places you firmly inside a bubble, though.

chare in senpai

>alberto
*lends you a penny*

>Whatever (Houellebecq)
I'd go and say Elementary Particles as well, haven't read Whatever so disregard my opinions if you please.

Forgot to mention:
Hunger - Knut Hamsun
Either/Or - Kierkegaard
Diary of a Superfluous Man - Ivan Turgenev
Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
Phaedrus - Plato

This is the current state of lit
really makes you think

Lmao

Why would you read something twice in such a short window if it didn't do much for you?

>they changed my life

I dont have friends

holy shit

At least you get to talk to anonymous strangers on the internet. Might not seem like much, but if you'd been a neet in a small village 50 years ago you would have been cut off from the world in ways that you can't even imagine.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?
This assertion is retarded: it could be worse so theres no reason to feel bad.

It's a start. If you lived in total isolation you would likely spend your whole life in a feedback-loop, unable to move on from yourself. Having people to talk to, even through text messages, makes that much less likely imo.

One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich
Roadside Picnic

What are some must read books for adult autists to get a better understanding of emotions and social interactions ?

I fucking need this.

now that's what I call shitposting

If you are asking for a recommendation on Veeky Forums, of all places, the recommendation is going to be shit.

It's a different journey for everyone.
I started out by reading a lot of nihilistic, intentionally fragmentary books, for example BEEs work and some of Murakamis more surrealistic stories, as well as cosmic horror 'terror of the unknown and the true nature of the world'-type fiction, because those described my own life at the time fairly accurately, until I finally got to the point where I was fed up with the outlook on modern life and the human condition present in them and myself. If I hadn't read those books I don't think I would have been able to appreciate (read: understand emotionally) the romantic tragedies I got into after that. Basically, if you follow the path laid out before you by your own interests without getting attached to it, you will eventually leave it behind and become capable of understanding concepts that were completely alien to you before. Good luck!

Almost made me think.
