what are some of the most memorable evil geniuses (from books, not movies unless they're in both a movie and a book)
(and other than Hannibal Lecter)

I would have to say Heathcliffe from Wuthering Heights. I hate the guy! The way he manipulates and maneuvers people all because he feels that he was slighted by birth.
Also, I would have to say Dracula. He is most definitely an evil genius - and not bad at real estate speculation either!

Lord Asriel from The Golden Compass
Artemis Fowl, evil, cute and funny
James Patterson's many villains
Darth Vader
Any James Bond Villain
Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt books always have a real baddie
Magneto, from X-Men
Cruella DeVille
Hitler (not entirely literary)
Fu Manchu
Great question

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille from Perfume, although i don't know if i'd call him a genius...
for kids books, Count Olaf is great from the series of unfortunate events...
and of course Professor Moriarty!
