    1. SkyOfFallingWater on

      Young Gerber by Friedrich Torberg

      The Road by Cormac McCarthy (or it would have if I hadn’t watched the movie before)

    2. Itsbetterontoast on

      “A little life”. It made me profoundly sad for a fictional character and mired me in sadness for days. It’s gut wrenching.

    3. THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath. OF MICE AND MEN and THE DEAD, I mean THE RED PONY by John Steinbeck.

    4. Just watch the news for depression.

      Non-fiction:

      **The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet** July 2023, Jeff Goodell

    5. The Fifth Season by N.K.Jemisin.

      It’s about a future world and people called orogenes who have the power to create earthquakes. They’re an oppressed group because their power to move matter is misunderstood and they’re horribly abused.

      It’s a heart wrenching story about a powerful orogene mother who’s trying to reunite with her child. It’s one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read and one of the saddest.
