>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).

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 20 16:24:00 2017 No.9000886 >>8999842 I find Journey quite funny. It's like a comic where the main character keeps getting into shitty situation after shitty situation just because.
