What is a book that deals with the main character being lonely?

I need to find a good book about someone that feels like they are an outcast and/or is lonely. Any good books (fictional) like that? (note: I'm 18yrs old)


Besides these books:


-The Perks of Being a Wallflower


-Robinson Crusoe


-Catcher in the Rye


-Native Son


-Speak


-13 Reasons Why


-White Oleander


-The Stranger by Albert Camus


-peeling the onion


-lost boy


-carry me home


-cold rock river


-Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde


-The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner


-Gathering Blue


-Stargirl


-The Chocolate War


-Wringer


(sry i've asked this b4)

Clockwork Orange- That has a kind of outcast feeling to it. Alex goes from high to low so fast and he doesn't even know what to do. Very difficult to get into because it is absolutely littered with slang that you're never meant to have heard before, but give it a go.





Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time- Very good book written bya persona who has got autism and simply cannot understand human feeling. Great read.





I'll post more if i think of any more

--Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez


--The Toughest Indian in the World by Sherman Alexie


(short stories, but containing some of the sharpest scenes of one who 'feels outcast or lonely' in several of them, well-written)


--The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie; most certainly and constantly dealing with feelings of being an 'outcast'... an award-winner; great book.





In fact, I've read all of these and know that they all deal primarily with your criteria of the protagonist feeling 'lonely and/or like an outcast.'





Hope you find many titles in the answers that suit you.
