Post a piece of artwork and get a recommendation similar to it.

I know that's Akira but assuming you've read that, try Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe or Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr.

If you want something more recent, Metro 2033 is fun post-apocalyptic pulp.

This is how I felt after finishing Les Miserables and Don Quixote. I don't know how good they are as general recommendations for what you're looking for, but by the end of those books you'll be left heartbroken.

Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

My friend Jeffrey Dahmer

I actually have that on my shelf somewhere, picked it up on a whim because I thought it sounded neat and hipster-indie graphic novels were what I was craving at the time.

I also want a book for this feel.

Dulce et Decorum Est

Wilfred Owen

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

this is a 'War and Peace' if I ever saw one

Eddas
Murder on the Orient Express
THE KING was on his throne,
The Satraps throng’d the hall;
A thousand bright lamps shone
O’er that high festival.
A thousand cups of gold,
In Judah deem’d divine—
Jehovah’s vessels hold
The godless Heathen’s wine!

In that same hour and hall,
The fingers of a hand
Came forth against the wall,
And wrote as if on sand:
The fingers of a man;—
A solitary hand
Along the letters ran,
And traced them like a wand.

The monarch saw, and shook,
And bade no more rejoice;
All bloodless wax’d his look,
And tremulous his voice.
“Let the men of lore appear,
The wisest of the earth
And expound the words of fear
Which mar our royal mirth.”

Chaldea’s seers are good,
But here they have no skill;
And the unknown letters stood
Untold and awful still.
And Babel’s men of age
Are wise and deep in lore;
But now they were not sage,
They saw—but knew no more.

A captive in the land,
A stranger and a youth,
He heard the king’s command,
He saw that writing’s truth.
The lamps around were bright,
The prophecy in view;
He read it on that night,—
The morrow proved it true.

“Belshazzar’s grave is made,
His kingdom pass’d away,
He, in the balance weigh’d,
Is light and worthless clay.
The shroud, his robe of state,
His canopy the stone;
The Mede is at his gate!
The Persian on his throne!”

The obvious recommendation here would be the stormlight archive, since that's what the image is from; have you read the rest of the cosmere books?

I live among the WWI graveyards in Belgium, I've spent hours and hours walking among the rows.
If I didn't control myself, this poem would bring tears to my eyes.
