Subject: Would you read/ have you read?

Posted by: j-zilch
Date: May 17 12

If there was a murder mystery book in which the main character was the killer and the book tells of the struggles he's going through and tells of him killing as a remedy for pain he's going through would you read it? Have you read anything like that?

I would be open to read just about anything, to be honest. Your post reminds me a little of Crime and Punishment, where the protagonist for a while tries to justify his right to murder. I don't mind reading books where I don't sympathize with the protagonist, but it can make reading it difficult depending on subject matter.

There is a slightly controversial novel by Agata Christie where the narrator is the killer. Of course, I donĀ“t say which one:)

Have you ever read "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole?

I think the novel "Perfume" by Patrick Suskind is rather like that but when I read the blurb on the back of the book describing the story, I decided not to read it. I don't really enjoy books like that.

I did read "Instance of the Fingerpost" by Iain Pears. It's a very inventive book and I didn't know where it was leading but at the end I felt very strange about it.
