 Books with reclusive themes. What are some books with reclusive/hikikomori/introvert themes? I can't think of one other than the obvious.
Well I suppose "The Outsider" and "Pickman's Model" and "The Picture in the House" all by Lovecraft have those themes but it's not quite what I had in mind.
Anyways it could make for a useful topic having a list of recluse themed books members have read, considering we're HikiCulture.

Re: Books with reclusive themes. Thus Spoke Zarathustra (is that an obvious one? idk)
Nausea (Sartre) although that's not specifically about introversion.. introspection maybe.
hmmm I'll add more when I think of more I suppose.

Re: Books with reclusive themes. I am interested in this myself, but I do not know any books reclusive themes. I know that a book on this film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_X where to download or buy, and which languages do not know. Movies easier to find something on this subject.

Re: Books with reclusive themes. Parasites Ryū Murakami. I personally do not recommend to anyone. It can be a great disappointment to many people.

Re: Books with reclusive themes. 'I never promised you a rose-garden' - I just red the german version.
It's about a shizophrean girl, but there's a reclusive girl in, too.

Re: Books with reclusive themes. No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is a book that most on here could probably identify with. The protagonist is a man is so fundamentally ashamed of himself that he is unable to relate to other people who engages in a long string of self-destructive activities. It's kind of depressing how much I relate to the main character,  ha.
