Re: sick sadistic serial killer types in Michigan, do you happen to know anything about the Oakland County Child Killings in the 1970's?

Talk about timing - Mark's sister just said a few days ago that she was going to send me that book! I know I've told you before, but one of the women Donald Miller killed was Mark's 8th grade teacher, I think the year after Mark was in her class. He also knows someone who married Donald Miller's brother. Small world and all that.

ps: Sorry I haven't emailed lately - my beautiful baby boy is being very high maintenance lately, even moreso than usual, he never wants me to put him down. Even so, he's still fantastic.

Piece of advice Darr... When Mia went through that phase I slung her to my chest in the "snugge" (chest pack) and kept her there as long as she wanted. It's a great way to bond and keep you hands free for typing, or whatever! :D Just you wait until he has his own opinion about everything, has learned the word "no" and can climb out of everything you put him in (crib, carseat, highchair, etc)... That's when the fun really begins! :))

What I'm Reading

  • Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing
    Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
  • Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love
    The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)
  • Matt Birbeck: A Beautiful Child
    True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****)
  • Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road
    A novel about the alienation arising from living in the "perfect" suburbs. Hailed as a great literary book. I thought it was okay, at best. (**)
  • Annie Proulx: Close Range, Wyoming Stories
    A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****)
  • John Grisham: The Innocent Man
    I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****)
  • Nancy Caldwell Sorel: The Women Who Wrote The War
    Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****)
  • Jack Olsen: Charmer
    Riveting true crime by a master. (****)
  • Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye
    Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****)
  • Michael Crichton: Airframe
    Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
