From what I know, Nietzsche and Camus talk about suicide in some of their works. Can anyone recommended me books or authors who also talk about this topic? Pro or against, I wanna read all opinions about it.

I should probably read the myth, Camus is a really good philosopher, the stranger is one of my favorite books, read it multiple times.Im currently reading The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus, Its taking me ages because its my first time reading something like this, but Im enjoying it (next read is going to be The Stranger also by Camus)
But to answer your question, like the previous reply said Schopenhauer is someone you want to check out, never read his works (someday I will read them, I know) but I watched several videos about him, very interesting.
The Myth of Sisyphus is the first book Ive ever read that treats suicide like this... I recommend it, but you seem to know already so...
If you find something interesting share it please, I also find this very curious.
Oooh you make me want to read it even more now lol and yeah give Sisyphus a try when you can, Ive come to realize is one of those books you understand better and better as you reread it, I read multiple chapters two or more times just so I could understand everything better, still a long way to go tho...I should probably read the myth, Camus is a really good philosopher, the stranger is one of my favorite books, read it multiple times.
Holy shit, that quote hits HARD.I recommend reading The Touble with Being Born by Emil Cioran. One quote from there is, "It's not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late."
ay que coincidencia! este si que lo encontre en un mercadillo por 5€, pero a ver si encuentro a sisiphus. Saludos desde españa!Oooh you make me want to read it even more now lol and yeah give Sisyphus a try when you can, Ive come to realize is one of those books you understand better and better as you reread it, I read multiple chapters two or more times just so I could understand everything better, still a long way to go tho...
Also I see you read in spanish, que coincidencia yo igual jajaja aunque mi edición de El Extranjero es diferente, la compré en segunda mano. Mi edición del mito si es igual a esa, imposible encontrar ese libro en segunda mano por donde vivo jajajaja saludos.
His brother Daniel committed suicide when he was young and far away in Italy. Then after the first edition of his Magnum Opus he hanged himself, then Minna, his sister, took a lot of pains to collect the work of her late brother....when all of it was nice an tidy she too took her own life.Philip Mainlander!! He committed suicide himself after finishing redemption of philosophy. He's the most pessimistic philosopher in my opinion.
