I got a lot of clarity from reading Nietzsche. Try thus spoke Zarathustra, and beyond good and evil. I agree bout Dostoevsky. Also the outsider by Albert Camus. These are all great philosophist that deal with things in a realist way rather thAn trying to sugar coat. Don't be fooled by Nietzsche appearing to be only dark and pessemistic. He sees life as a struggle and the mind as something in which one must overcome. Good luck. If you want to talk more bout these philosophers let me know. I study it at university. Also a good fiction book that incorporates Freudian ideas and nietzsche is called when Nietzsche wept. I hope some of this helps. Please though read through all of Nietzsche so you
don't get stuck in the dark elements of him.
