    Things that Suck

    In my opinion, this is a book that could take place in volumes. When I mentioned the title to a friend of mine, she asked if it were a thousand pages long --- surprisingly, only 128 pages, when you begin to think of all of the things that truly suck.

    If your misery wants some company, this book is bound to be your new (super-funny) best friend! A list of everything that can tend to go wrong, rendered in flip-book style - from potholes to overly perky people and the nightly news to the daily grind, this collection of pet peeves is sure to make you smile - if only because it illustrates that somewhere, someone has it worse!

    Wisconsin Death Trip Suggested Reading For Sparking An Existential Crisis Books & Publications picture
    As the title suggests, this is a truly strange book. Published in 1973, it is essentially a collection of photos taken in Black River Falls, WI, by Charles Van Schaik between 1890 and 1910. The subject matter ranges from children in coffins, to farm animals, to family portraits of some of the grimmest-looking people imaginable; the photos are accompanied by snippets from newspapers. The whole package seems to confirm that the good old days were actually horrific.

    Factotum Suggested Reading For Sparking An Existential Crisis Books & Publications picture
    One of Charles Bukowski's best, this beer-soaked, deliciously degenerate novel follows the wanderings of aspiring writer Henry Chinaski across World War II-era America. Deferred from military service, Chinaski travels from city to city, moving listlessly from one odd job to another, always needing money but never badly enough to keep a job. His day-to-day existence spirals into an endless litany of pathetic whores, sordid rooms, dreary embraces, and drunken brawls, as he makes his bitter, brilliant way from one drink to the next.

    Wow, and I was JUST thinking the other day that I was long overdue for some kind of questioning of the universe and my place in it... possibly with vodka, possibly curled into a fetal position. Love #3. Fabulous list.

      Thank you, analise! You totally have the spirit! Just make sure you pick a decent bottle of vodka. Otherwise, your existential crisis may begin before your third drink.

    Awesome list - suggest changing this one to "blog view" since you wrote a nice chunk of text about each item
