If it's non fiction I prefer my same old crime, thriller and mystery. It took me years to stomach the Jack the rippers and the Jeffrey Dahmers but I am here still loving it. I think the thought that I live in an unsafe world keeps me really safe .

Oh, that’s an interesting perspective that I never thought of! Reading books about how unsafe our world is helps keep you safe. That makes sense to me, like you’re extra aware of where you go, of what it is, who you’re with, etc. I’ve been curious about Jack the Ripper readings, but have yet to give one a try. Do you have any recommendations?

Jack the Ripper : Summing up and verdict
Authors Robin Odell and Collin Wilson
This is your typical brown paged thick as a bible kind of edition but I preferred it over all the others because of its ability to summarise the entire catastrophe. Good luck finding it. It was published in 1987. The last time i saw it it was on a library shelf.

Thank you for the recommendation! It seems like this would be a book to read when I’m ready to take on something big, so maybe not yet. :lol:
