What are good books about hermits? I'm mainly interested in their lifestyle and how they sustain themselves.

Picrel. Most of the plot is about his hermit lifestyle becoming intruded on, but he is a hermit

He's a recluse, not a hermit. He owns a car and is shopping for trinkets in the first chapter of the novel. He's also handing out tickets to his "ark".

>Wealthy European landowners used to hire on-site hermits to live in their lavish gardens
>They were often contracted to dress like unshaven, filthy druids to live in the environs and provide sage wisdom etc. when encountered.
>These paid, live-in hermits were the original inspiration for the garden gnome and were eventually replaced by them.

I'm in the wrong line of work.

If he actually was self sufficient you'd have a point, but he was a thief. His hovel in the woods doesn't show any sign of intelligence at that, so making him some /out/ icon is retarded, he's a bum living in a lair of trash with some extra steps.

It hasn't existed for hundreds of years m8. You've already been replaced by the ornamental garden gnome in this capacity.
