/lit/ - Literature

/lit/, I have been having a very difficult time dealing with specific and persistent emotions coming that I don't understand and while trying to figure out what it is, The Book of Disquiet kept coming up.

What I was looking up was saudade, mono no aware, and sehnsucht. The best I can describe the feeling is a painful longing for beauty, or longing for something beautiful that is gone.

Does that sound right, does The Book of Disquiet have this theme or written in a style that evokes this? I'm going to read this book regardless, but I really need to understand this feeling and I think the best way would be through art that evokes it. Are there maybe other works that do this better than The Book of Disquiet?

What did you guys think?
Was tbinkng of getting a collection of his poetry next, how is it? Also any recs for which collection to get?

this actually fucking slaps

Is this the quintessential 'my diary desu?'

books that have a mood like this one?

Pic related is similar imo except it's if the Underground man was less hateful and bitter and more just generally sad and passive.

his diary desu

lmao can you get any more virgin than this book maybe if he cleaned his room and stopped being boring and did something he would have gotten laid i cant believe you guys memed me into this booooooring fucking shit all it is is him walking between his room and work and talking about clouds what a virgin

I just finished reading this.... really messed me up because of how similar my current perspective on life pertains to pessoa's. Obviously I can't articulate it as beautifully but the point still stands. How do I get out of this mindset? Any other anons who had the same realization?

Did you like it? How did this book affect you?

What am I in for?

lol what the fuck is this garbage why is he such a LOSER
>muh tedium
>muh sad
>muh clouds
>muh dreams
why wont he just stop complaining and go get laid lmao
i don't know how you pseuds read this shlock it's so fucking boring
pessoa is a hack

>ordered this piece of trash because /lit/ said it was good

Literally the most boring inane garbage I've ever read. Could only get through two chapters.

book(s) you keep with you at all times to sift through

i can’t tell if soares is hilarious because he is such an extreme charicature or terrifying because his retarded patterns of thought are so familiar

How does your diary desu compete with this?

Thoughts?

Ok guys so this is the same thing over and over again. Sure, there are some interesting thought sometimes, but for the most part we read whinings in excellent prose. Is the prose sufficient?

Is this any good?

This book read word for word exactly like my diary (desu), except he's 10 times smarter than me. what should I read to get out of this?
