You should try reading Thomas Bernhard.

“So yeah, in other news, squirrels are once again teasing my dogs for fun while I watch out of my double-gazed window this cold morning here in the western-pointed peninsula of Eurasia, yeah.”
Have you considered a nuclear launch on the squirrels? There’s very little chance that the chipmunks would retaliate and you could send the aggressor squirrels into oblivion./S

Or Joseph Conrad. A few pages from Lord Jim should cure your insomnia.

Conrad is a piker. I have before me Bernhard’s Auslöschung, a gift from an Austrian friend. 651 pages; two paragraphs. Al least there’s a period on most pages.
