For fuck's sake, that reading list makes me want to put my head in the oven.

Haha, yeah, I read bleak stuff. It helps me keep a healthy perspective when the kids are driving me nuts. Right now I’m re-reading Redwall, though. My dad had kept all of my childhood books, so I pilfered most of them when I went to his house. Also some bleak shit in there! Teenage Gravy loved her some Dostoyevsky and Plath. Looking back, I’m shocked my parents didn’t chuck me into therapy as soon as I brought Neitzche to the dinner table. I guess those good Midwesterners had no idea what the fuck I was reading.

@Biscuits - You might like 'All for Nothing' by Walter Kempowski, about a wealthy Prussian family in 1945 who seal themselves away as the red army inch ever closer to their remote estate. One of the best books I have ever read.

@chenda Oh hell yes, that sounds bleak as all get out. [adds to list]
