Houellebecq Whatever
No longer human
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Hermann Hesse - Steppenwolf
>Houellebecq Whatever
I agree.
>No longer human
I really don't know how you get misanthropy from this book. It's about mental illness and addiction.
I would add pretty much all of Celine's oeuvre, especially Death on Credit (funny misanthropy) and Journey (depressing misanthropy).
Jealousy by Peter Van Sommers
I find Journey quite funny. It's like a comic where the main character keeps getting into shitty situation after shitty situation just because.
So like an inverse of Candide?
My Twisted World
What's the name of the author?
Catch 22 does the trick.
Always go to goodreads from now on to search categories. Good reads has all the miscellaneous book categories your looking for.
Seeing a list of Goodreads' top rated books was enough to turn me off of the site for good.
Catcher in the Rye probably. misanthropy isn't good and makes you a hypocrite is basically all u need to know tho
>isn't good
Sure thing, Plato.
>makes you a hypocrite
Being a human while complaining about humans?
Notes from Underground
Brave New World
Burmese Days
The Count of Monte Cristo
Resurrection
Any social/cognitive psychology textbook.
Seconding these, particularly My Twisted World even if you intended it ironically.
