Sorry for your loss.
The Song of Everlasting Sorrow
The Turner Diaries
Sorry to hear that user, rip to your brother. I suggest going on poetry foundation and looking through there. A novel might be too much right now, but it's up to you.
Books won't help you with this one, friend. You have to turn to your emotions and feel it out. I have felt exactly what you are going through. It gets easier but so much harder. Try your best to look back at the happy moments and try your hardest not to remember the times you wish you could have changed, the things you wish you would have said, ignore these thoughts. Take this in now and it will save you so much trouble in the future. Sorry, OP.

Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,
A hand that can be clasp'd no more—
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.
He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.
Fuck man. I'm sorry for your loss. Forget the books and go be with someone.
only the Nekronomicon, the black book of the dead, can help you, and trust me, it isn't worth it
Know that literature's ultimate lesson is ti teach empathy, but that ultimate empathy. The kind of empathy that doesn't have a direction, but is instead felt passively, for all the suffering felt by everyone. Know that everyone who has learned this, even the people that aren't in this thread, feel for you. Read anything good. Read Shakespeare. R.I.P.
my condolences user
Rest in pizza.
franny and zooey
Scared you're next? Read white noise for more information
you're alright
Stay strong, man.
Catcher in the rye
feels bad... man.
Im sorry for your loss user, I know how it is to lose a sibling. When I lost my sis I read the girl who circumnavigated fairyland to help, because it reminded me of her, she loved whimsy so much. Try to think of what your brother liked and choose off of that?
Start with the Greeks!
But seriously though, sorry for your loss user that really sucks. It hurts so bad when a close family member that you really love dies. I hope you can find some kind of peace and enough strength to deal with this.

I realize this is a joke but Trump does actually talk about coping with the death of his brother in it
STRONG Son of God, immortal Love,
` Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
` By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
` Thou madest Life in man and brute;
` Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
` Thou madest man, he knows not why;
` He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him: thou art just.

Sorry for your loss.
Everybody deals with grief differently, but I'd recommend something engaging that you can become invested in. A pageturner will ease your mind and focus your thought and feelings into something else. Bonus points if it's long or a series.
Books can help with emotional healing and self-understanding, but at least in my case only once some distance has been adquired with the events. Other than that it will only amplify your current emotions.
Source: I spent the first couple of days after my mothers death glued to some shitty fantasy doorstopper. I was like 12 and a pleb so you may want to try something better, but still long. Off the top of my head, The Count of Monte Cristo sounds like a good contender, or maybe the Savage Detectives.
