Read Hemingway's "A Farewell To Arms."
I threw it across the room - seriously - in disgust as I neared the end. . . . . that's how good it was. Also, semi-autobiographical and a great anti-war book.
I've noticed a lot of literature out of the 1920's, 1930's seemed to be like that. Dark. A fatalistic view.
