I'm actually reading The Crowd by Le Bon at the minute, and it's very good. I've had it for a few years, but now seemed like a great time to dig in. The man was so prophetic, he even said that if the masses were prescribed atheism that it would result in similar madness that we've seen with the worst of religion. He was somewhat wrong, because the Godless madness we've seen is arguably worse than any religion.
I picked up Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds right at the beginning of this mass insanity last year. Really good read.
