I'm looking for books that deal with selfishness (novels, essays, poetry, whatever). No Ayn Rand please.

Books about nihilism, solipsism or egocentrism are fine too.

Hell by Henri Barbusse

Notes From Underground, Voyage au bout de la nuit, Catch-22, Lolita, you know, the usual /lit/ stuff.

Nathaniel Branden has some interesting stuff.

The man literally had a hard-on for Ayn Rand, but he's very different while still espousing the virtues of selfishness or at least self-esteem.

Actually Nabokovs Lolita is about this.

The most disgusting, empty person ever to write a book.

That book sucks as far as pickup goes anyway.

David DeAngelo's stuff is far superior. And it works.
