Also wrote a great book about basketball on native american reservations. Kareem is an awesome guy, I wish he got more recognition from newer generations of fans.

Daniel Mauser hit me particularly hard, especially when I learned he was a friend/acquaintance of Devon Adams and he was affectionately called "Moose" by the members of the debate club. It was easy to tell just how loved he was in his family, particularly where his father is concerned.
Also, I'm not sure if you're looking for specific Columbine documentaries/material (e.g. about the victims, etc), but I've personally read and enjoyed No Easy Answers by Brooks Brown, A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold, and Columbine: A True Crime Story by Jeff Kass. I haven't read any of the books about the victims written by their families, but I know there's two about Cassie and Rachel. Whatever you do, just don't read Columbine by Dave Cullen.
I've only read bits and pieces of the 11k, so I can't say for sure, but I haven't encountered much of Kelly Fleming at all in the reports. She was probably referenced by library witnesses and by police officers describing where she was shot, where her body was found, in what position, etc, but I can't imagine they'd include much else, since it's not really relevant.

I read Walden in high school circa 1970, it impressed me deeply. I've read it about once a decade since, the latest being this spring. I also recommend Living the good life by the Nearings, an interesting book about the Amish called Plain and Simple by Sue Bender and the story of the Dickerson Sisters called The apples of the Mummy's eye. . Great philosophies on living simply and happily.
>PiHKAL if anyone has heard of it.
lol, yes we have heard of it. I'm just teasing, anyways I enjoyed this. Also I've heard fear and loathing in Las vegas is good, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
I would expect there are just lots and lots of street ballers who never made it for a variety of reasons.
I think this may have been the book I ran into as a kid - loved street ball:
> Swee'Pea and Other Playground Legends: Tales of Drugs, Violence and Basketball 1st Edition by John Valenti

Over the course of decades, who knows how many there are. We may have missed some true wonders.
Charles Manson might not fit the true definition of a psychopath, but his memoir, Charles Manson: In His Own Words has got to be my favorite biography of all time. By the end, I almost emphasized with his reasons. It's kind of creepy in that way.
My professor actually just wrote a book on Somoan's in the NFL. It's a really great read in my opinion.
You will read a book in a day/two days I'm telling you. It's too interesting and fucked up and true to put down.
Absolutely -
The Last Victim by Jason Moss This dude corresponds with Gacy (this is all true) it is definitely something to read, quite disturbing.
Gift of Fear by Gaven de Becker This due has worked with John Douglas. We read his book GoF along side Douglas'
Serial Killers and Mass Murderers by Nigel Cawthorne
Charles Manson's Autobiography Now I read this in 8th grade --- way too old for a 12 year old [young for my grade] um - I'm not positive this is what I read. Only because when I read it I had found it in the library in a dark corner and it was a solid red hardcover that just said "Charles Manson Autobiography" but I couldn't find anything else so I'm assuming this is it. It should be written from his perspective if it's the right one. (A lot of sex too)
Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters
yes, I have read all of these. And in searching for links for you I found that John Douglas released a book I had not read yet about internet crimes. Interesting, especially because the serial killer roaming around on Long Island, well the first four girls identified were Craigs List prostitutes. Anyway there's a couple more books I want to recommend but I have to check my bookcase (all the names start to blur after a while..)
David James Duncan, author of The Brothers K, The River Why, God Laughs & Plays, and My Story as Told by Water. Honorable mention to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, although not from around here, important TO the northwest.
Well, I mean, he did write a book.
Then I have an amazing book for you my friend.

This book was fantastic. It talks about the reason he's in jail and what he does to get along in prison whilst he's there.
I live in Fresno. The short answer is there is the stuff in the paper and then there's the stuff we all sit around and talk about while watching football. This is one of them. My parents lived through all of these characters: http://www.amazon.com/In-Fathers-Name-Mark-Arax/dp/0671010026
Thanks for the tips!
I actually found one book about Jeralee Underwood: https://www.amazon.com/Eye-Beast-Story-Serial-Killer/dp/1886039321 - has some good reviews, too.
I'll check out Kirby Jonas.
Here's my list of ones I've read, They range from undercover cops to actual members to PIs/ Journalits writing them
Edit: Another one I remembered
Manson in his own words http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0802130240/ref=tmm_pap_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&sr=&qid=
I always find it hard to judge how well known a book is, but here are some I loved that I hardly ever see get any mention on Reddit:
Not sure if my bonafides are required, but ...
Book 1
Book 2
Book 3
Book 4
Book 5

That's a great thing! You guys band together to take care of each other ok? You just made me think of a guy named Joe Loya who was a bank robber. One of the things that set him off when he was young was his dad who was very violent towards him and his younger brother. He has a book called The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell. He's a controversial character but I say take inspiration from wherever you can get it. Your library might have a copy you can borrow for free. Anyway, I hope some of this discussion helps.
For those throwing judgements on this story without knowing the amount of variety upon the subject, I suggest you research manson with an open mind or shut the fuck up and stop siding against the man just because everyone else is. Watch this interview - Or read this book. My opinion? Manson for president 2012.
> It's like the Manson family doing an AMA and saying you want to hear the other point of view on the Tate murders.
> I would absolutely love it if that happened.

Not the manson family, but I read it and it was interesting as fuck
Unfortunately I don't since I read that in a book more than ten years ago. Hah. So I guess I can say I'm pretty sure those are the facts (at least according to that one book). I believe this is the book. I remember it being good but I don't think my knowledge of true crime books was very well developed then so it could be total crap!
There were questions as to the viability of the evidence because the LAPD had a strong history of doctoring evidence to make people appear more guilty than they were. More importantly, the prosecution screwed up bad.
Without a Doubt covers the case quite well.
