Long story short, I'm going to a mental hospital for a month or two. Phones aren't allowed so I'm going to need some books to read.

And remember to learn THE SHOOTING OF DAN MCGREW by heart and repeat it to people to warn them against the ETERNAL THOT.

>There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
>And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
>With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
>As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
>Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do,
>And I turned my head — and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou.

Hold up. This doesn't make any sense. If you truly believed what you said to the point you were willing to end your own life, then why didn't you just simply kill the park janny? You are refusing to address the elephant in the room. That is, life life does have value and is worth living, which is why you ultimately refused to kill him and yourself. Otherwise, you would have bludgeoned him with your latter and carried on with your pathetic plan to hang yourself.

I would like to begin my post by saying that anybody who makes their suicide note/last words a meme, is naught but an irony-poisoned söyfiend.

This seems like a good time for very difficult books that warrant re-reading or careful examination, unless you can guarantee a steady supply of books. I don't know what your interests are, but I would look for books that are a more technical/deeper dive into that subject. This isn't prison, but if you can guarantee boredom, then I recommend bringing books that you would like to get out of the way but always fail to start/finish. Having no other choice, you'll surely get through them.
