This past Sunday night the world said goodbye to acclaimed TV drama Breaking Bad, which featured one of the most memorable anti-heroes in recent years -- Walter White, the terminally ill chemistry teacher-turned-vicious drug kingpin.

Even if you haven't seen the show, you've probably heard people describe the White character as being one of those complex, villainous leads you can't help but love (or love to hate). For those of you already in Walter White withdrawal, here's a book list where you can get your anti-hero fix.

Satan from Paradise Lost

John Milton's Satan is a villain with endless charm. Satan left Heaven for Hell because "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n." And reign, he does. In John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, Satan leads his army of rebellious angels with confidence and ambition. His morally ambiguous stance and sympathetic qualities are enough to make us forget he's technically the most evil character there is.

Duddy Kravitz from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz

This underdog just won't give up. Duddy Kravitz is slimy and untrustworthy yet his stance against snobbery and classicism make him likeable. Mordecai Richler's iconic novel paints a compelling portrait of a loveable misanthropes.

Iago from Othello

Who needs Breaking Bad when you have Shakespeare? Iago from Othello is the perfect villain. He downright ruins everything while maintaining the trust of everyone. And he does this with style. He's so convincing he could talk the most health-conscious person into doing crystal meth (that's a Breaking Bad reference!).

Zenia Arden from The Robber Bride

Margaret Atwood's The Robber Bride delivers the ultimate female villain. No one knows the real Zenia, she's deceptive, duplicitous and a downright liar. But she's a woman who knows what she wants and her actions may be destructive but, in the long term, they lead to self-empowerment.
