Who here likes true crime books?
I have a few and they're really great, cause they're more believable (because they're true), unlike half the detective or murder mysteries out there. I'm reading one now called "true crimes through history", and it's really good because it goes back 100 years to the 1800's and it shows the pattern how crime has changed dramatically and increased since then. I also used to get these magazines which had true crime stories in them. But I've gotta admit, I skipped a few of the stories about cannibals because they were just too sickening to read.

True crime sorta freaks me out...Because its true, and all.
*shudder* I read one about these three girls torturing this other girl and killing her, I don't remember what it was called, but after they killed her, they just went out to McDonald's and ate chicken nuggets...It was like they didn't have morals. *shudder again*

Yea, like I said, I don't like reading about stuff like cannibals, too freaky. Once I heard this true story about some 10 year old beating his baby sister to death, and he acted as if he hadn't done anything wrong. It was really disturbing to think that a kid could do something like that.
But I prefer reading about the psychological part of it, like why a criminal did it or the profiling and that.

Yes, you should read Deranged, by Harold S[can't remember the rest of his name right now]. Some of the things in there are disturbing, but it also has that psychological profiling and such. I really liked it.
