I read A LOT of true crime novels.....one or two doesn't sound bad but when you come over and see 200 of them in a row on my bookshelf....it can raise an eyebrow or two.

Chaucer and Shakespear.....

had to read them for school. I'd never voluntarily read them on my own time. Maybe if I was serving life in prison. rolling eyes

Very interesting topic.

Well I have one very facinating book which might give the wrong impression of me it's called "Final Entires 1945" the diaries of Joseph Goebbles. It's a daily log of events near the end of the war where he was recounting the bombing raids of Mosquitoe bombers from the RAF and the waves of B17's that swept over Germany by the 1000. He also didn't try to hide his hatred of Herman Goring implying in unmistakable terms that he was a screeming fag.

I also have a book on how to grow pot. Like anybody really needs a book to grow a weed.

LOL! I have one set that has been used and written on twice as back grounds to give the impression of total nut case on 2 members of my family many years ago. I took them (inherited) as I really like them and would not part with them for anything. They are the entire works of the author Sax Rohmer who wrote all the infamous ever so politically very wrong Fu Manchu novels back in the 20's and 30's. The works do stand out on the shelves from their bindings; most signed and numbered. The reporters learned well what to look for during an interview and for photos to insinuate that the person is a nut case. Old tactic to watch out for. With my own collections,(in the thousands) depending on which room they were in, they could have a field day; both the men in white coats with butterfly nets along with SWAT teams could be called for. And if not the books, then the Napoleonic cannon at the head of the stairs would do it. It is primed and loaded. To fire it, I'd have to remove one cat from the barrel that likes to curl up in it...I love collecting strange items...%D

Well gee thats a tuff question

I have a ton of stuff on human sexuality, but I'm a psych student and a perv so not wrong ideas there. One can never learn enough when dealing with this subject.
I have almost everything by Dean Koontz and Stephen King, and a lot of Anne Rice

I collect old Grimoires that might send the wrong impression, Had a big interest in magic when I was young, and always found the books interesting.
