Sup c/lit/

I was wondering if anyone could suggest any books wherin the protagonist is a sociopath.

I've read Bret Easton Ellis' works, and i read "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" which i regret.

Are there any GOOD books / series of books out there with a sociopath as the protagonist?

I don't know if i could read that, i'm sure that the narrative in "southern drawl" would shit me to no end.

Seems like a fair suggestion.

I'm okay with fantasy, i'm okay with just about anything.

I've read books from Homer to Patricia Cornwell to Robert Jordan and John Milton; I'm really not picky.

Then I heartily recommend the series. The cast of PoN is really, really dysfunctional.
