On Suicide by Émile Durkheim
3.0
A girl in my class said this and I quote "I'm pretty sure Émile Durkheim never imagined his book on suicide would make so many psychology students want to die" and that's pretty much my take on it.
Jokes aside, this book it's actually very interesting, the fact that we were depressed was not Durkheim's fault, just my professor's. I had to write a paper on it in not very much time so I didn't savor it quite well, yet even thougth this is the original study so it takes a LOT of explanation to get to the point being made, once you get there it's so amazing to analyse suicide from that many angles.
