The Anatomy of Evil

Did I bring in the boy's outdoor water table, lay a bunch of towels on the floor and alternately fill it full of homemade sand and bubble water so I can get some quiet reading time in today? Yes I did. Will I regret this decision later when it's time to clean up the massive mess I know he's making anyway? Probably. But he's having fun and I'm enjoying some "shhhh" time. Win win for now

@BeeMagical You spoil me!! These books are perfect and I can't wait to dig in to all of them. I love crime books with pictures and the tagged has been on my list forever. The treats and bookmark are perfect and that skull spoon is my new favourite thing ever! A new serial killer colouring book I don't have is going to be perfect for my holiday relax time. Thank you SO much and I hope you had a great holiday 😘😘

so-so

This book has taken me quite a while to get through. It's not an easy read, for two reasons.

1. It's dry reading in a very academic style.
2. Some of the stories of the evil acts examined were just not pleasant to think about.

But overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars in it's attempt to categorize the acts and identify what triggers us to call something truly evil.

kuhkuhbird This book fascinated me. You're right. It's not always pleasant. It is interesting to me how we as humans try to explain away evil. 6y

Dry. I bought this for my Hallowed read and although it was scary to learn about all the psychopathological people listed it reads like a textbook.

Some light Saturday morning reading.

Cathythoughts Very light reading 😂😱 6y

AuthorMelindaSCollins Are you liking it so far? 6y

speljamr @AuthorMelindaSCollins It's a bit like text book reading, so I don't recommend reading it all in one take. Also, some of the described murders are not always easy to read; they can be gruesome. But overall it's a good read if you want to try and understand the gradations and thinking of such people. 6y

AuthorMelindaSCollins @speljamr Gotcha. Thank you. I love documentaries and books like this. Human psychology is utterly fascinating to me. 6y

Ddzmini I often wonder why we like to read about the darker human nature? That‘s why some psychologists have studied positive psychology instead to focus on some other than the dark or negative 6y

speljamr @Ddzmini Probably because people consider this a sort of forbidden territory. We don't want to confront the darker parts of our human nature. But I think it's important to study and understand both, while using such knowledge to be our best selves possible. 6y

Ddzmini True that‘s why I really enjoy psychology 😋 6y

Spent the afternoon reading while watching the Bills one and only playoff game. At least we finally made the playoffs.

benchley1 I feel your pain though 7y

Melissa_J Poor Buffalo 😞 I don‘t watch the NFL anymore but was a major Bills fan in high school (during their four Super Bowl years). 7y

speljamr @Melissa_J I graduated in '89, so I remember those years well. 7y

Melissa_J To this day I can‘t listen to Aretha Franklin‘s Respect without changing the lyrics to the Bills version 🤣 7y

Liar,liar yes, my pants are on fire .Bought a new book .At least I had a coupon. I read books gently so another rationalization is I will give it as a gift!😀I just couldn‘t leave it in the store.While often murder is described as a moral failing , the author ,a psychiatrist,tries to figure out through psychology and neuroscience,the level of evil in an individual.He has compared over 600 violent criminals to come up with 22 levels of evil.

LauraJ If this book is as fascinating as it sounds, you deserve a pass. 7y
