Doesn't mean I didn't like the other game better. Depending on who you believe, Lindbergh baby?
Sorry! I didn't mean to be a bummer.
Off to check out Jesse's link...

AmyLiz, you are never a bummer. Rather, I am sometimes as easily distracted by true crime as I am by shiny objects.

Boy, the Zodiac killer murdered more people than I thought. Huh. Why is there no movie about him? (Her? Or is there?)

Me, too! I read one of the books about Ted Bundy when I was only fourteen, and devoured the Fatal Vision, too.
Also, I ended copyediting a lot of true crime books a few years ago. Not too many huge cases, but some really interesting ones. The only negative was that they were almost uniformly poorly written -- we weren't publishing the hardcover, high-profile stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Black Dahlia case isn't known by most people, you think? Huh.
I don't know why I've never gotten into reading true crime, but I think fear of bad writing is part of it.

My sister and I used to watch "Unsolved Mysteries" (aka "Untold Miseries" in our lexicon) and discuss when we could back in the olden days before watch and post. (Talk about uniformly poorly written.)

See, I've known about that for years, but that may just be my twisted interest in true crime.

I don't have a particular interest in true crime, and I was at least vaguely aware of it even before the book came out.

I don't have a particular interest in true crime, but I'd heard of the Black Dahlia case. Though, I couldn't really tell you any details. Just one of those things you've heard of.
(ETA: Or, what Jesse said.)
I'm watching Miami Ink and taping Nip/Tuck. Good times.

I'm watching Nip/Tuck, and it is good times. But I can't believe how heavy Kathleen Turner is. Is it for real?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
