    Indeed. But you'll eventually realise that it doesn't hold enough information.

    And then you start collecting scientific articles and you realise that they could have written books like that about each individual subspecies.

    Sounds like a very interesting man! Is The Lucifer Effect more of a documentary style or more fictional type reading? Either would be interesting. I'm just curious.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    It's documentary. Written by the guy behind the Stanford prison experiment.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment

    The book was inspired by what happened at Abu Ghraib and deals with what can drive a normal person to behave that way. I haven't read much of it, yet.
