Just finished The Scapegoat - think you'd enjoy if you haven't already.

The Golden Bough - Girard argues that Frazer misses the importance of the scapegoat: a critical mechanism to understand violence and memetic rivalry in humans. See also Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the  World (Girard, 1978).
