I can't remember ever reading such a book, nor do I think I'd want to. If I'm in the mood for such catharsis, a particular movie (e.g. Grave of the Fireflies) or song (e.g. Gloomy Sunday, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, or Untitled #1 by Sigur Ros) will do the job much more effectively and quickly. A book, however, will typically take me a few days to get through and I neither want nor need such pain to last.
