Fictional, philosophical, informational, or self-help?

I don't actually know of any but personally I'd love to read a fictional comic/manga/book with themes of suicide that are more open ended than "Suicide BAD!!!! Don't do it!!!"

[hyacinths]

there's a lot of good realistic fiction out there if you're interested in that genre!

i recommend "its kind of a funny story", "perks of being a wallflower", "all the bright places" (my favorite) and "13 reasons why" (the book is a lot better than the show imo)

i think "by the time you read this ill be dead" is okay, it deals with a lot of sh themes but personally i didn't like it that much as it went a little too far sometimes. there's a series called "the program" that deals with suicide, but its more of a dystopia series vs mental health series. "wintergirls" is also good but it has more ed themes.

Jean Amery - On Suicide. But free downloadable versions were photocopied by some retard with his stickies covering many words on the sides of the pages

 

[again_noidea]

Serotonin by Michel Houellebecq - i was not able to stop reading, it took me in. It is the story about a men who at the end, you guessed it...

the other one, that i read recently, is "Suicide and Attempted Suicide" by Geo Stone. It is entertaining and informative

You dropped the bomb.

I didn't read Michel.. too depressive and foretelling (I see myself in his books as the dead future of Europe). But he's right in his predictions. The most underrated, unexpected sociologist.

About Stone, the first book everybody has to know once they think of taking their life. Outdated, but impossibly well-put and researched. Some of his statistics are so rare to find, the man went out of his way to take.

I wish I wasn't too stupid to understand and enjoy Serotonin. I don't know how to feel.

Have you tried serotonin? It is, in parts, very funny. and, as you say, very foretelling!

Just at the outset it seems. It requires intelligence, which not everybody has.

I don't know what to feel.. disgust because of bestiality? Go jump trhough a window, because what Europe is coming to? I am a part of the problem he sets out to show - atheist, depressed, lifeless degenerates..

Finally, it's probably a book of random thoughts, exaggerated and unrelated, and it's all money on his agenda. Yeah, who pulls our a sniper on a person close to him? I feel it's just money in for him, and the book is intended for normal, hard-to-trigger.. I mean, normal people, of average intelligence, ideally better.

i agree, he is rents a lot, but nevertheless he builds nice characters and i liked the flow of the storry. it is not a book to read twice. i tried it and stopped at the first pages because it went stale. however i liked it the first time, it someho expresses something that i feel. well, my intelligence is average.

Yes, that's why you read it. Pushed past the rough parts I see. Only don't understand how you get anything else out of it once you know what's it about.

i think it is really funny. almost nothing brings me to lough, but reading his books make me lough. what he writes goes down easy, it is entertainment for me.

He is easy to read? Well, if you say so.

He has a book on virginity too, recommended? Any other book in the same vein by him?

serotonin is the only one that covers suicide. i found "Atomised" is his best book, probably because it incorporates his biography. it probably contains everything he has to say. it is his best book, definitely.

Are these books which end well or not? I'd rather have some which don't end well

Oh, sure they don't. Serotonin in ends with France islamized. Guy does ctb as well, but not to give too much away..

As for Jean Amery, it's a useful book, showing you about yourself things your therapist never will because they can't. Jean ctb'ed in the end, in his 70s using CO. Too bad.
Finally, Geo Stone's book available on the resource compilation thread is a field manual.

 

[Mohkinstsis_falls]

I found one about that a couple days ago. It's called "hello I want to die please fix me" basically the author details her experience after trying to ctb and talks about what we have tried to do over time to treat depression in canada and in the USA. I've almost finished it and have no complaints.

i found a new book that seems interesting: "The ethics of suicide: Historical Sources" by Battin Margaret Pabst

Also the creator of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a taste to make you go jump off a bridge for just 99c.
