This reminds me of an interesting non-fiction book I once read, 'The Myth of Sisyphus' by Albert Camus. Rarely am I drawn into a work by the very first line, but in this case:
"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy."
As my younger chums would say, Boy can I relate!
