The last book I read was Helter Skelter. It's about Charles Manson. You should read it, I thought it was really interesting, and I find out some of the people from his ~clan~ live in my town! The prison Charles is in is only 30 minutes away too!

That sounds really interesting. I have a weird fascination with serial killers (I have since I was a kid) and I find Charles Manson second most interesting, after Ted Bundy. That's crazy that he's jailed in your town! I never think about it, but I live like a mile from where Roman Polanski lived and his pregnant wife was killed by the clan, in the Hollywood Hills. I think I get pretty jaded living in Hollywood, but I'm sure a lot of fascinating things happened around here. Two blocks from here, on Hollywood Boulevard, William Frawley (who played Fred on "I Love Lucy") died of a heart attack, I just learned this morning. Crazy to think I've walked past where he collapsed a thousand times. Anyway, I'll definitely check out the book! Thanks!
