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.
