what are some desolate, lonely feeling books?

my diary desu

Harry potter really waggles your emotions into a topsy turvey state of self introspection.

...

Suttree

The book of disquiet by pessoa

That's a good pick for the request. I'll second that and add Pale Fire.

Hunger by knut hamsun.

Also obermann by senancourt. Get the george sand edition if you can

Yes this is a good one

Translation reqs? It seems like a big deal for that one, might make a thread later

Richard Zenith hands down

Not OP, but I've read Pale Fire and have felt joy, sadness and schadenfreude but never loneliness. Care to explain?

Resort to poetry if you havent already. You want rilke and edna millay and thomas hood. I have read rilke in german but i saw some good translations online.

Notes from the underground, Down and out in paris and london

diary of a country priest

Pictures like this remind me of my childhood in the 1990s. Whenever I would go by a building in a remote place it would give me the same mysterious, melancholic yet happiness-tinged feeling; as if the scene had been dropped out of another world. Are these impressions lost in the post-2010 world of globalization, instant connectivity and smart phones, or merely as a result of exiting youth? I'm not sure.
