New Book: The Anatomy of Evil by Michael H. Stone

A week or two ago, I finished reading Hidden History of Lincoln Park by Patrick Butler.  It was a good, quick read highlighting some of the notable events that have happened in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood, or interesting people who have lived here.  Obviously, this is geared more towards people who live in Lincoln Park or nearby, but I thought it was a fun book.  Apparently, some hardcore shit has gone down around here, and that's aside from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and John Dillinger's death.

Since then, I started The Anatomy of Evil by Michael H. Stone, M.D.  Stone is a forensic psychiatrist, and the purpose of the book is to try to categorize evil into 22 groups, so that a better understanding of the causes of what makes people do horrible things.  Criminal profiling has long been a fascination of mine, so this is right up my alley.
