>The part where he gets violently mad at the universe for not winning the lottery is particularly amazing.
Isn't that normal?
>The Naked Civil Servant
autobiography of a gay NEET in 50s London, became a bit famous in the 80s for his memoirs
>Diary of a Man in Despair
diary of a German far-right conservative monarchist during the NSDAP's rise, he hated Hitler and the Nazis for being such a bunch of uncultured swines
>The Disaster Artist
Memoirs of the guy who played "Oh hi Mark" in The Room. I expected a more meaner putdown of Wiseau, but it's really more about their friendship over the years.
> The Autobiography Of Benvenuto Cellini
public domain - the autobiography of one of the more famous 16th century Italian artists. Huge ego, lots of hilarious stories, lots of fights, lots of murder.

That level of unwarranted entitlement? Not where I'm from. But Elliot did come from what seems to me a sickening and superficial place.
For all the people who enjoy Freudian undertones, there is a scene of interest, where Elliot imagines building a tower of huge height and extensive girth, from where he can observe the slow deaths of all the women who didn't have sex with him.
