WIJFR: Confessions of a Sociopath
I am not usually one to dislike a memoir because the author is so awful (Eat, Pray, Love and Wild being the only exceptions that come to mind) but man, this one was rough.
I've always been really interested in how the brain works and how other people experience emotion, because that is just a hard thing to put words around. This anonymous author tried to do this, as a sociopath who admittedly doesn't experience much emotion, and I feel like it just kind of didn't work. The whole thing came off as a strange brag (which makes sense because she is a sociopath 
) but there was no balance to it. I have read other books about sociopaths (The Psychopath Test most recently) and felt like at least there there was some sense of balance. I almost felt like the author wanted people to walk away wishing that they were sociopaths.
