Please recommend books that reflect impending doom and destruction that shall inevitably become England.

Could anyone here recommend some books that can help one overcome misanthropy?

I've never met anyone who I really respected, admired or loved. A minute number of those I've encountered were just OK, while the majority were too heavily flawed to like, and some even difficult to endure. I've never really detested anyone, but I've never loved anyone either. I just feel a vague sense of disappointment or disgust towards the people I meet. It's as if I've been waiting my whole life to find someone who I could truly admire.

Maybe the most bitter aspect is the knowledge that I myself am deeply flawed (more than most in fact) and yet still can't forgive the flaws of others. I know that I'm really no better than those I dislike, but that doesn't prevent me from disliking them. I'm disgusted with myself because of this.
