Going through some tough shit atm so

>name some decent books that, you know, are _not_ depressing as fuck for a change.

The Bible

Anything by Houellebecq, especially "Whatever" or "Elementary Particles".

Just read some good, slice of life children's literature about some kid and her adventure.

Most children lit is actually depressing as fuck though

Something from Rachel Carson's "sea trilogy": Under the Sea Wind, The Sea Around Us, or The Edge of the Sea

Hope things get better soon, user

Blood Meridian

totally not depressing, I swear

Devil on the Cross by Ngugi wa-Thiongo. He's my African com-lit professor this quarter and the book is powerful and uplifting allegory.

The Henriad

Faust
Journey to the West
You're a meme-loving fuck so I know you haven't read either of those yet.

Plato’s Gorgias

Siddhartha

he said he wants to read something decent

Read A Confederacy of Dunces for a good laugh.

>the Bible
>not depressing as fuck
The OT is about the Jews constantly fucking up and incurring divine wrath. The NT is about a man literally too pure for this world getting murdered.

Guy looks like a fucking weirdo on the right and that's probably him at his best

The Long Ships (viking adventuring)

All Walter Moers books (fantasy books in a unique setting)

Most 60s, 70s SF is very utopian and positive (A E Van Vogt etc.)

The Peregrine

Even Kenzaburo's A Personal Matter is weirdly uplifting in the end

A Voyage To Arcturus

The Once And Future King (in parts dark)

Memoirs of Hadrian

All Dresden Files books

All Quatermain books
