What is a great work of literature that corresponds with Catcher in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest?

Alright. For senior AP English, we have to write a 30 page literary ysis on any three works of literature and discuss and develop literary themes as well as over all meanings... That sort of thing:) Well, what I had in mind was the idea of what it means to truly be crazy, and the perception of what is phony or not. Anyway, I think that the Catcher in the Rye works really well for this because Holden is a character who suffers a mental breakdown and still sees everyone else as crazy, my paper will develop on his perception on what is crazy, or in the wonderful words of Mr. Caufield,"Phony." And, I also believe Randall McMurphey from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest would be great too, Randall for the most part does not have any psychological limitations, but once put in a place meant for people who are supposedly crazy, we see what hysteria truly is. Anyway, I need a third work of literature or novel, that sort of coincides with this idea. I am open to any suggestions, and if you could by any chance drop your email along with your answer, I would greatly appreciate it so we could discuss this a little more. I realize that this isn't exactly the easiest question to answer. So, I applaud those who would like to help. Thank you very much.
