The common denominator is that in both cases it's the best thing that was around at that time retard. Keep reading Jane Austen and convincing yourself that anglo literature mattered though

>What can I do to stave off existential dread?
Engage with the universe as a living being and fulfill your role within that living being. A wolf wolfs. A planet planets. A human ought to human.

I like how reading Dostoevsky gives people the sort of teenage angst babby's first writers like Camus cure with 200 page books.

I read Camus and it did nothing to stop my existential dread.

utterly revolting image. ghastly rigamarole begets ghastly rigamarole

Dazai talks about this
>I never could think of prostitutes as human beings or even as women. They seemed more like imbeciles or lunatics. But in their arms I felt absolute security. I could sleep soundly. It was pathetic how utterly devoid of greed they really were. And perhaps because they felt for me something like an affinity for their kind, these prostitutes always showed me a natural friendliness which never became oppressive. Friendliness with no ulterior motive, friendliness stripped of high-pressure salesmanship, for someone who might never come again. Some nights I saw these imbecile, lunatic prostitutes with the halo of Mary.

DostTok says otherwise

You have a revolting spoiled attitude. It took someone a long time and a lot of effort to make that image. Somebody ought to put you in stocks for as long as it took to build the talent it took to make that image and then draw it, and we can all see what you would come up with in the same amount of time (probably just a lot of piss and shit). Nasty little troll. Hey don't you know that trolling has been irrelevant for over ten years now?! Are you senile or something?? Go get a day job or something.
