I've read The Leopard, I've read Schopenhauer, I've read Klages, Leopardi and La Rochefoucauld and I'm working on Proust, slowly.

What other authors will help me hone my air of lordly melancholy?

To be fair I was thinking of Zibaldone, which exceeds 2,000 pages. For what OP requires it's a very good rec.
