books i am taking home:
Jack the Ripper and the London Press by L. Perry Curtis, Jr.
Ending Life: Ethics and the Way We Die by Margaret Pabst Battin
A Handbook on Hanging by Charles Duff*
Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami
*the subtitle of which is: "Being a short Introduction to the fine Art of Execution, containing much useful Information on Neck-Breaking, Throttling, Strangling, Asphyxiation, Decapitation, and Electocution; Data and Wrinkles on Hangmanship; with the late Mr. Hangman Barry's Method and his pioneering List of Drops; to which is added an Account of the Great Nuremberg Hangings; a Ready Reckoner for Hangmen; and many other items of interest including the Anatomy of Murder by Charles Duff of Gray's Inn, Barrister-at-Law
"All very Proper

in every Family"
