What are good books to read after you and your gf of almost four years break up?

I wasn't able to read until recently, anon. I couldn't concentrate for the life of me.

Ah buddy.
I’d say something about which you have passion, something you can really dig into.

Can you imagine those four books hanging out or like being trapped in an elevator together.

I read Mishima’s Confessions of a Mask. It’s not exactly pertinent but it impacted me at the time. I guess I was in the right mood.

>Start with Bukowski. Hate her. Resent all women. They're all harlots and deceivers.
>Then move into cuck stuff. She's going to fuck other guys. She's going to make sure you know. Subtly. Ulysses is the centerpiece. Look at your flawed self. The Sun Also Rises. No woman would love you. Feel sad. Pathetic.
>Some non fiction next. You've bottomed out, now find something to pass the time. Something easy. Id recommend A Walk In the Woods. Its funny. Drift along, start to become yourself again.
>Get back to your old self, only better. Develop new interests. Push your old ones even further. Workout a lot. She'll want you back, you won't go. No recs for this phase. You won't need em.
