I'm not a well-read person tbh but one book that I really liked was Don Quixote, they made me read it in HS and it's a great story about the fight between idealism and realism. It has a lot of references to different subjects like philosophy and politics so reading a version with annotations is recommended.

Teacher also explained me very well why the book was so important historically, it touches a lot of new genres all in the same book and it's also extremely well written, even a midwit like me can tell.

It also can legit make you laugh and cry, which it did at the end.

I read it in the original spanish so idk if the book is as good in other languages but still.

Alan Watts: The Way of Zen (and basically all of his works) = peak lifefuel, this type of philosophy permanently increased my happiness on some level
Albert Camus: The Stranger + The Plague = interesting stories with an interesting philosophy, not too optimistic, not too negative
Jacques Ellul: Technological Society + Propaganda = the run down on society and the future (Ellul helped inspire unabomber indirectly to kill people)
Osamu Dazai: No Longer Human = his works have made people kill themselves (very depressing)
Welcome to the NHK's light novel, it's 5x better than the anime = mogs the anime and is a central part of neetcel literature

To download free books you can go on libgen.is or you can sign up for a private tracker called myanonamouse, sign ups are open 2x a week and they have a lot of rare books on there. All of the books listed here had a reasonable impact on my life to this point to some degree and are largely short (under 300 pages). Hopefully you'll pick one up and give it a try at least the NHK light novel, that's prime time neetcel literature and is only like 100 pages, even an ADHDcel can finish it

This is another piece of neetcel literature imagine Jeremy Meeks but if he was white, in the 1800s, and lived in France, what you have is Bel-Ami the MC is a complete NEET who fucks women to get rich and makes wagies work for him

Sorry. The test was more detailed than that. I only posted one excerpt since there isn't much from my version on the Internet.

Obviously, this includes nothing from my books.

The New Book of Knowledge is an encyclopedia published by Grolier USA.[1]

The New Book of Knowledge

Country	United States
Language	English
Publication date	1966
Preceded by	Book of Knowledge

The encyclopedia was a successor to the Book of Knowledge, published from 1912 to 1965. This was a topically arranged encyclopedia described as an "entirely new work" under the editorial direction of Martha G. Schapp, head of overall encyclopedia direction at Grolier, and the specific direction of Dr. Lowell A. Martin.[2]

From the beginning The New Book of Knowledge was lauded by critics, who praised it as one of the best encyclopedias for its target demographic, albeit the most expensive.[3] Some of the set's unique features included a "Dictionary index" that included both references to pages in the text, as well as short definitions for words not found in the text. In 1985 there were approximately 5,000 of these entries, together with 80,000 regular index entries. The index was spread out at the end of each volume and was recapitulated in Vol. 21, without the definitions.[4] The encyclopedia also utilized definition boxes that explained technical terms that were bolded in the article.[4] Other features included excerpts from literature such as portions of the Arabian Nights and "Paul Revere's Ride", as well as practical how to guides, such as "How to build an ant observatory" and "Making your own weather observation".[5] One criticism, however, was that it offered little or no information about sex-related subjects. An article for menstruation was not added until 1984. Other areas that were apparently
