Any good candidates emerge from your job opportunity yet?

If you haven't already done so, read Ellis' The Informers after Less Than Zero. Same nihilistic mindset, but much more fulfilling insanity.

I recommend "From Dawn to Decadence" by Jacques Barzun, and "The Story of Psychology" by Morton Hunt. Both books are idiosyncratic takes on historical figures, if I had to sum them up in a single sentence. That shit is off the chain dog.
