If pop-sci counts, The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success and The Wisdom of Psychopaths, both by Kevin Dutton.
>BOOK YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING
Platform by Michel Houellebecq and Flipnosis, also by Dutton.
>NEXT BOOK YOU PLAN ON READING
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

Psychopathy is a minor obsession of mine, so after reading everything I could find online, Without Conscience by Robert Hare and The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Strout, I got desperate and read Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work by Hare and Babiak, and then tried the Android Market free samples of Dutton's books. The subjects were interesting and the prose was surprisingly good so I bought and read them. In Flipnosis, the prose is a bit disjointed, but that was his first book. I'm not sure whether he actually writes the prose himself but either way there's definitely an improvement in his later books.

Houellebecq is my favourite contemporary author, but the English translation of Platform I have is pretty bad. I think the translations of Atomised and Whatever were OK, but won't find out for sure unless I learn French.

Technically I already started The Master and Margarita. I've really enjoyed it so far but I decided to finish the other two before carrying on with it.

I've been reading through Mishima. I like him a lot. It's especially interesting if you read a bit about the author himself. Interesting guy.

Can definitely see a lot of his influence on modern Japanese authors like Ishiguro.

I've actually finished the first volume

It's.. hard to say. It gave me massive nostalgia and massive feels in parts, since I grew up in similar circumstances in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere - pining for that girl who all of a sudden kisses that one asshole, hiding your bags with beer bottles in the bushes, realizing that the complete and utter love of your life loves someone else (of course, you're 15, but what do you know?).... It's bretty gud

Falling Man, Don DeLillo

Graceland, Chris Abani

Almanac of the Dead, Leslie M. Silko


I highly recommend Abani and Silko. I'm not a big DeLillo fan. I think all of his characters have the same voice. It's a weird, DeLillo-specific detachment. But goddamn he can craft some very good sentences.
