I don’t know what people would say about me if they see this certain part of my book collection. I also don’t know whether people would believe me if I say that I am not intentionally choosing books with suicide as their main theme.
All I know is that I bought these books simply because I can somehow relate with their main character, one way or another. I just never realized that I already had so many. And yes, I had (or still have) dark thoughts running inside my head, self-harm issues, and suicidal tendencies. Maybe you’ll think I’m crazy or just pouring gas over the flames by buying books like these, but for me, I feel solace knowing that I am not alone in this.
If you’re interested in the books I have, here are their titles:
- A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
- Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
- Cut by Patricia McCormick
- Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford
- Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks
- Cracked by K.M. Walton
