Any books or novels that detail coming to terms with adulthood and maturity?
No. Becoming an adult in your 20s is a modern phenomenon
>>24796361Still recommend me some books in which characters have growth and development in their settings and societies

>>24796429Why are you bumping on like the second page retard
>>24796457Self improvement /lit/ should be it's own board. Boring as hell, low literary value, not part of the culture.
>>24796356The Recognitions?Ulysses for sure.
>>24796356Have you considered reading some memoirs?Confessions by St. Augustine should do the trick.
Literally War and Peace
22 and 23 (me) and beyond is when its possible to have wasted your life, not 19
>>24796457needs more literature on semen retention
>>24796356My novel deals with this.
I must explain to himAll is not lost
>>24796356Of Human Bondage, though it follows Philip throughout his childhood first and by the time he's in his 20s, he's pretty thoroughly an adult. Different time. But still a truly great novel.
>>24796457Thank you for the catalog anon
>>24796539>>24796794>>24798202Thank you anon these recommendations seem really cool especially “Of Human Bondage” in for some cozy reads
>>24797863I’m somewhat intimidated with the length but I am will definitely try my hand I’ve only heard good things
>>24797967I’ll be your age tomorrow though anon I was 17 yesterday and nearly 20 today. Only so much time to build my life and take advantage of youth>>24798126What’s the name of your novel anon?
>>24798990>and take advantage of youthYouth is a lie and overrated, because it is the time of least self awareness, least self and external control, and least openness. And therefore youth is when man is least Human.Not to say that adulthood or even adults are actually that much different, its just that in my experience, the capacity to truly be self aware simply does not exist in youth, and that is the most essential capacity to be human.Anyway regardless. Can only do what you can only do, cant you?
>>24799057I suppose so, I think my rush into becoming comfortable with adulthood unironcally is my fear of devolving into permanent arrested development and remaining a 17 year old for the next decade like some 27 twitteroid
