The most recent read that I haven't finished is The Trouble With Being Born by Emil Cioran. And before that, The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien.

Out of all the books I've read, the one that resonated with me the most would be, The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa (The writings are from Bernardo Soares, one of Pessoa's heteronym. Although Soares is more of a semi-heteronym.)

I'm currently reading Suicide: The Philosophical Issues. It's a collection of philosophical writings on CTB. The section on the rationality of CTB I find particularly interesting. It seems to only be available online though.

Not reading one at the moment but bought one for medieval history. I hope it will be a good one.

I recently started reading colorless tsukuru tazaki and his years of pilgrimage by Murakami Haruki, so far so good.

1) A Profession without Reason, Bruce e. Livine

Whole book is an attempt to imagine what spinoza would have said about the DSM, using his critiques of the bible. It's fucking awesome. Excellent anti psychiatry content.

2) anything by Byung Chul-han
Achievement society & burnout society being my favourites. If you don't want to read him, there's a bunch of explainers on the Philosophise This podcast. If it helps to win you over, he refuses to write more than one sentence a day for his work, and spends the rest of his time in his secret garden or playing piano. He's still live, and my personal idol
