100 Must-Read Books for the Socially Awkward

"Here are some book suggestions for and about loners, misfits, outcasts, over-analyzers, anxiety-ridden folks, introverts, psychopaths, and just the dismally uncool. (This isn't to suggest that these are synonymous, but surely there's a spectrum across at least some of these groups.) There are choices here for readers who want to feel sympathy, fear, sadness, wonder, or enlightenment."
