Anathemas and Admirations - EM Cioran. It mixes aphorisms with essays, Cioran is my favorite thinker, even better than Nietzsche, who's #2. In this book we see him being a little more comedic and sarcastic, less pessimistic than his earlier works, this was also his last published work.
However currently am wading through the kindle pages of Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House and i'm thinking to myself that THAT is what i need more of to read.

@Abstraction I believe Cioran is best when discovered solely, so it was risque to mention it.

@Abstraction Yeah, he's great as a coping mechanism sort of person, pitch black humor one may say to describe his thought. I read him translated, Richard Howard, who's done most of his French books is really good i think, saves me the trouble of learning another language.
