I'd look into the books of Herman Hesse. I haven't read them in a long time, but there's a lot of loner themes in them from what I remember.

Agreed, Into the Wild is good stuff, as is Into Thin Air also by Jon Krakauer.
Check out some of the Jack Kerouac books, On the Road and Dharma Bums in particular.

Right now I'm very enthusiastic about Donald Richie's The Japan Journals: 1947-2004. Richie wound up staying in Tokyo for almost 50 years because he never felt at home in his native U.S. At the same time, owing to the nature of Japan, his loner nature, and his homosexuality, he has always felt like - and somewhat revelled in being - a perptual alien who could never be completely accepted by Japanese society.
