are there any books that describe extreme alienation from society? It doesn't have to be super too deep for you stuff, like dostoyevsky or pessoa. It can be weird stories like the wasp factory, no longer human, child called it, the perks of being a wallflower, whatever. I just want a character that I can sympathize with. I'm looking for losers, loners, outcasts, people extremely alienated from society. I haven't read no longer human, but I plan on reading that eventually.
And the ass saw the angel

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is a perfect books for these feels

You should make a less shit thread instead of bumping

Helter Skelter by Bugliosi
>>8095614
is that book accurate? I hear it portrays manson as a badguy, the guy who wrote it was the prosecutor.
>>8095636
Manson was a badguy, and Bugliosi is one of the greatest prosecutors of all time.
That said, the book is presented as both a narrative, biography, and a court case against the accused, and is probably one of the best true crime books ever.also interesting is that manson and bugliosi got along well, and manson found it fairly rude that some of his followers wanted to kill bugliosi and put a stop to it

I just started reading that book yesterday. So far so good.

the Metamorphosis by Kant.

also you can tell people you read Kant.
>>8095103
Wittgenstein's Mistress, pham.

> The novel Infinite Jest is, I believe, one of the great American works of fiction, a work of mind-boggling ambition and originality that depicts contemporary life as a surfeit of pleasures and indulgences that can make connection with other people lethally difficult.

Demian by Hesse
>>8095103
Well there's always Walden or Into the Wild if you were looking for pseudointellectual meme journeys instead of actual literature.

I honestly don't even know if this is shit posting or ignorance.
Ghosts by Auster.
City of Glass by Auster.
Hunger by Hamsun.
The Zeroes by Patrick Roesle. I recommend it.
Notes from Underground. It isn't 2deep4 anyone with half a brain and neither is any other Dostoevsky, really.

IT ALL COMES TUMBLING DOWN

So... Shitposting?
>>8098333
y, only the Auster's New York Trilogy comes to my mind
>>8095103
My diary desu
Most of Colin Wilson's work in one way or another.
Read The Outsider. I think that's will have a map to what you're looking for.

Just read No Longer Human. Dazai was the biggest piece of shit in Japan

Silence of the Lambs > Nirvana > End of Evagelion
This is the best order to read philosophy
>>8095103
Welcome to the NHK.
It's by a Jap who lives (or at least lived at the time it was written) life as a near friendless neet. It's a short read so I'd recommend it.
There's also an anime adapted from it that's more lighthearted.
Then there's steppenwolf by herman hesse. I've only read the first 3/8 or so but it's from the perspective of a more literarily meritorious individual.
>>8095217
Absolutely. McCullers is such a poetic and poignant writer. Reflections in a Golden Eye is like a brilliant cipher of character flaws.
>>8095103
nausea by sartre
steppenwolf by hesse
>>8095103
Check out Houellebecq - Atomizer. Haven't read anything else by him but wouldn't be surprised if they carry the same theme.
>>8096937
As a piece of shit 26 year old who's wasted 10 years of his life and has absolutely nothing I shouldn't have read this.
>>8095636
Manson was a bad guy. Just not as bad as people make him out to be because nobody should actually care that the people he killed happened to be celebrities.

You can kill us both but you will not find the galaxy.
