i dont know how to explain this feeling i have. its like im unconsciously drifting along the waves, the entire earth feels empty. i can see the building, cars, cafes, but not a single soul, something like silent hill town but even without no monsters. its so intense that i could picture the entire earth when i close my eyes, it feels like waves going from my body all over world and not finding ONE SINGLE THING TO BOUNCE BACK ON. they just pass through everything and reach back to me.
i have read quite a few classic and contemporary too, and sad to say i hv kinda lost my fire for books. so looking to rekindle my interest.
books i loved: midnight library, flowers for algernon, julian barnes books, sally rooney books, bukowski novels, unbearable lightness of being.
but feel that these books getting repetitive and boring, and looking for something artistic, weird which will help me this feeling?

Read kafka on the shore
Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre and The Stranger by Albet Camus. Another that might be worth your time is Against Nature by Joris Karl Huysmans.
I Who Have Never Known Men
Piranesi
Two books that will really speak to you and how you feel:
The Bear by Andrew Krivak a book you will read in just a day or two that is about exactly the way you feel but shows you the beauty in those feelings at the same time.
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jaqueline Harpman is also about that feeling of isolation and separateness.
Both are really unique takes on a dystopian future, both are short and quick reads that you will then end up thinking about for weeks after.
