What are some Egoist novels?

Unironically, Reverend Insanity.

Everything by Henry Miller. Guy was probably the most self-centred egoist who has ever lived. All his work consists of his uninspired, uninteresting ramblings (which he presents as a kind of radical, New Age theology -- like any lukewarm narcissist), and how he left his wife and kid just so he could live out his fantasy of being a bohemian writer in Paris by the time he was pushing 40.

Yep, currently reading it and it is exactly what I wanted. I would also recommend Hunter X Hunter. It is the exact same shit. I sometimes wonder if these pieces of literature is some secret form of "You are not alone" message from the author to the world. It's insane how I independently developed most of the Stirner's based on simply looking at the world.

Which acted as a lens to interpret Hunter X Hunter, Breaking Bad, and finally Reverend Insanity.

Hunter X Hunter takes egoism to the extreme. Hunters are egoists every single one of them wants to hunt for something, it doesn't matter what they hunt. Gems, Food, Sex, Thrill, etc. but every good hunter does stuff because he wants to do it. Only Hunters get to die on their own terms, people who are part of an organization, government, country, etc. those who lives for some external cause and ideals are almost always used as pawns by those who follow their own will.

It's insane how rare this kind of stuff is.

Any book written by a woman.

Not really sure I see it with HxH. Off the top of my head, doesn't Gon get moralfag with the Phantom Troupe because they kill?

Yet women are egoist creatures, though.

>doesn't Gon get moralfag with the Phantom Troupe because they kill?
Yes, but then again he's friends with Killua who's an assassin and he gets a long with Hisoka. He also thanks a killer during greed island because he used him as a practice dummy.
His morality is literally just based on if he likes a person

The Egoist
>>
All of these reccomendations are shite

Egoism doesn't imply being an evil prick. Egoism means if helping other people makes you happy then your would do that as well. Similarly if fucking over other people gives you pleasure then you would do that.

Fang Yuan is literally a textbook egoist that happens to prefer being ruthlessly efficient
