Aside: The True Believer is well worth the read. Though I may have some issues with Hoffer's conclusions in his work, I've never regretted the time spent reading him.

True Believer is included in Between Devil and Dragon.

I like how you stated “I’ve never regretted the time spent reading him” as I don’t agree with many of his statements and sometimes his writings seem a bit self-involved or exegesis in need of a peer review, but I’ve found it valuable to read through and think the power of some of the ideas I keep, or just strongly disagree, are worth all the material I discard.
