those are two very distinct circumstances. (yes, one is a subset of the other. thank you pedants).
if I knew I was gonna off myself I wouldn’t have the volition to do something as mentally heroic as reading. I’d be listening to some despair-laden southern rock like Marshall Tucker Band.
if doc gave me a week to live I’d be reading the gospel of John on repeat.

The Holy Bible, but if I had to choose a book which was secular, perhaps The Golden Sayings of Epictetus, or Plato's Phaedo. If a novel, The Silmarillion.

This post feels like it was generated by an AI that has been fed all of Reddit’s data since its inception.

LOL! That's the second time in twenty minutes I've gotten that. No, sorry. I'm a real boy, nor have I ever been to Reddit. I've been here since 2015 or so--since /lit/ was actually literary.

Those choices are perfectly logical and complementary. What makes you think an AI would be needed to come up with them?

If you'd read The Bible before attempting to "kill yourself", the reading would surely stop you from such attempts and you would come to love Jesus instead
