Just about to start Carrie (Stephen King). Saw the movie. Not a bad depiction but I've read reviews that have said it doesn't do full justice to the book's content. And searching some poems on the internet to get some inspiration for lyrics to write a song.

I have recently acquired lots of classic english authors at an unimaginable cheap price. It saddens me to know the reason they are so cheap is because no one wants them. I started with Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

Cold Pursuit.
The last in Carla Neggers's Black falls collection.

I must say she's really good! The way she mixes the suspense (though not an expert like Lord Stephen King)with her romance is awesome!

The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty by Simon Baron-Cohen

An interesting choice of literature friend - I haven't read that particular one but I am familiar with the authors theory of autism as a "systemizing" disorder within the context of his empathizing-systemizing theory, by far the best conceptualization of autism I have seen.

Although perhaps I should also warn you - if you keep going deeper in the sociobiology rabbit hole, you just might cross the rubicon one day: you will find that what a lot of good-hearted folk call "evil" is in fact an inseparable part of the natural world, of human nature.
