Books! Books! Books!
Okie, I'm talking to that girly who makes me ever so happy again, and we got onto the subject of my major in school, which led me to bring up true crime books, which leads to me talking about books, which now leads me to bore you all with some of my favorite books.
All 3 books by Gregory Maguire, those are my current favorite. He writes new spins on old fairy tales, basically from the bad guys point of view. But he gives us all the background info on them, and why they turned out that way, it makes them seem like they aren't so bad at all. Really appeals to my love of criminal psychology. The best one was Wicked, about the wicked witch of the west.
It's also a little juvenille of me now, but I have a special place in my heart for V.C Andrews books (the ones she actually wrote, not just her pen name). Especially My Sweet Audrina. Which I might add was the inspiration for a song by the group Ancient (Audrina my Sweet). "Audrina.... Audrina... Audrina Adare"
Dean Koontz rocks. I love his book Intensity. I love all his books, but Intensity is my favorite.
Cannibal Killers. I forget the author, but it's a pretty common book in the True Crime section.
Slave Girls (same as above)
Deranged. book about Albert Fish.
The Secret Life Of A Satanist. Bio about Anton LaVey.
There's a bunch more, I just felt like listing a few. Everybody tell me there's! I'll make myself a winter reading list. *nerd*

"the perks of being a wallflower" is sort of a coming-of-age story. it made me cry.
another good one i just read was called "still can't see nothin' coming" but i forgot who it's by.
