Wow. I agree that there are too many to possibly list. I really recommend hitting up the true crime section in any book store; there will be a plethora of books there. Some classics, though:

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi

The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

If you're interested in murder in general, I recommend The History of Murder (can't remember the editor) or any book by Harold Schecter.

Answer 13

I honestly think there's wayyy too many to list;

Why not just go to a bookstore and go to the non-fiction section? Or also the Auto/Biography section; I'm sure you'll be overwhelmed with how many different life stories that are published there for your convenience.

Hope this helps, and read on! Life is all about relations after all, and no better way than to understand the minds and psychology of those who've dealt with the similiar heart-staking pains as us.
