@Thelonewolf1993 a potentially good follow up would be Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, in 2 parts, first i like the best, reads like a treatise, a nihilistic treatise, then the 2nd part dramatises some experiences of the narrator of the first part, both these books are fairly short so probably could read both in half the time it took to read Moby Dick.
