Wide Sargasso Sea
There are a lot of things I think a suicidal person can take from it and it will especially challenge them on an emotional level re. not confirming biases or acting like a stereotyped "supportive friend."
Be prepared to feel as though you've just been kicked in the balls for the next 48 hours though

Gravity's Rainbow
Oh wait, that would motivate them to kill themselves.

Divine Comedy. Should put the fear of Hell/suicide in that pathetic wanker.

TWaWaR by Schopy. It's huge so has time to reconsider or it could also strengthen his resolution.

The Myth of Sisyphus

The Talmud.

Keep him alive for a while.

Who is this testicle spectacle?

The Bible

the opening book to any pulpy series of sci-fi novels.

nothing creates a sense of purpose like having to read through 5-10 books worth of characters and lore you've become invested in.

also: genre fiction is a useful means of escapism. the next step is RPG's (vidya and round a table) and then LARPing if said person is able to find new friends with their hobby and possibly achieve a modicum of happiness or at least contentment.

better to be an alive loser with loser friends and a loserish but fulfilling set of hobbies than a dead loser with nothing to live for.

The gospels. I don't find them that inspiring personally but they have a good track record with these kinds of things.

My own unpublished book.

A pity there isn't a market for visionary works of genius nowadays. 50 years ago I'd be your god.

And I still have some hopes to eventually finding a publisher smart and brave enough to realize the immense depth and scope of the novel and give it a shot. It could save the entire human race and the biosphere itself.

'How to Write Your Own Will'
Inconsiderate to leave the sortings out to others.

it's even worse when you're doing it conciously

also larping is for fags

have to start somewhere
