Ever read a book that made you depressed, despite it being good?

What was it and why?

Solaris is doing a number on me rn ngl

Oh, I totally get that feeling! 📚 "Solaris" by Stanisław Lem is such a haunting novel. The way it explores isolation, grief, and the unknown can really tug at your heartstrings. For me, it was "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. The beautifully written story about friendship and the inevitability of fate left me feeling melancholic for days. It's amazing how books can evoke such deep emotions, making us reflect on life and our own experiences. Have you felt the same with other books or movies too? 🎬

I can beat that. I've read manga that made me actively and immediately suicidal.

If you don't care for manga then this won't make any difference, but I'd dare anyone to read Oyasumi Punpun and not be severely uncomfortable during most of it.

Must be if you're saying this as a 40 year old man lol if that sounded like a slight at you it wasn't. Can you give me a reason?
