      Let me see. First, was Django Unchained a novel? Second, by world domination does that exclude Africa and parts of the Carribbean?

                Whatever your character's flaw is, a "self help" book to heal that flaw.

                  Or something to highlight his stubborn denial of said flaw, and/or something that would exacerbate the flaw... or Are You My Mother?

                      Something by Marx, Mao. Or the Frankfurt School, if your protagonist is subtle is his scheming.

                            No, definitely not a paperback. A Kobo Glo e-reader.

                              Maybe a 'dark' graphic novel?

                                The Book of Five Rings by Musashi.

                                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings

                                The Book of Five Rings (五輪書 Go Rin No Sho?) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi circa 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists: for instance, some business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work. The modern-day Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.

                                Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.
