schizo books

Not really "insanity", but Crime and Punishment seems an obvious pick here for what you want.

The Tomb by H.P. Lovecraft
it's a short story, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied

>>8483977

Diary of a Madman by Gogol and Dostoevsky's derivative of it, The Double.

>>8484000

Wouldn't everything by Lovecraft fit the bill here?

>>8484045
I've only read the tomb and the call of cthulu so far, I have a book of his complete works

Dostoyevsky is fucking garbage

for those looking for insanius books, google clowns and browns, the micheal heisman suicide note, the unabomber manifesto

>>8484065
Kill yourself

>>8484065
commit immediate suicide

>>8484066
The unabomber manifesto is really quite impressive so far (I've read about a quarter of it). However a lot of the criticisms he has of the left could very easily be said of the right. Its just human psychology that is the problem: say/believe you are doing one thing, do the opposite of what you say you are doing. Or at best half and half.

What's it like enjoying the works of a slapstick sensationalist journalist?

gravity's rainbow

>>8483977
American Psycho.

>>8485477

Better than parroting the beliefs of other people like the prototypical pseud middlebrow megafaggot.

>>8484065
oh my god.

>>8485848
Nabokov's?

>>8483977
>>8484065
almost anything by dovstoyevsky applies to OP, really

>>8485523
I don't know, man. It definitely gives the reader a felling of becoming progressive more insane, but most of the characters hardly seem to lose it in any kind of traditional way.
They're all kind of insane to begin with and the whole book is crazy like an acid trip, but the people tripping remain relatively normal considering the circumstances.

Unless you think of it as the omnipotent narrator becoming more and more inane. That's definitely a possibility when you consider how the narrator breaks in stream of consciousness a lot. That could be like the reader is in the book which also fits the post-modern ideas,like how the book itself plays a part in the plot.

Crazy stuff, man.

reading Moby Dick for the same reasons. 200 pages in and it's dragging now. The prose is lyrical of course but plot is a bit too slow :(

>>8483977
A Scanner Darkly. As his psyche splits into two, an undercover narcotics agent is tasked with tracking down his own alternate identity.

Anti-Oedipus - Deleuze & Guattari

The Bell Jar

The second part of Molloy would fit the bill.

>>8484065
you bloody motherfucker

>>8483977
A School for Fools is GOAT. I've read it in Russian though, not sure how the translation goes.

The Black Monk - Anton Chekhov

>>8484065
Wtf dude how could you say something bad about Dosty?

Don't you realise it's normal behaviour to like him on this board?

Don't you want to fit in? Are you a middlebrow pseudo intellectual pleb nu-male cuck hoi polloi or something?

Pale fire . It's probably the best description of a psychotic episode from a pacients point of view , the protagonist doesnt realize just how absurd his thoughts and beliefs are, plus it has great prose and it's funny

literally anything by PKD
