...description Bright later gave police--average-size guy, bushy mustache, "psychotic" eyes--led to nothing at first. And BTK was cocky enough to think he could get away with it. Run-of-the-mill criminals don't become pen pals with the press and the police. But BTK became a murderer-correspondent in the mold of Jack the Ripper and California's Zodiac Killer, who was still at large when BTK started his spree.

In high school, talking about books means talking about feelings: you know, love, despair and loneliness, not to mention race and gender and, uh-oh, are we supposed to be drawing insights about ourselves here? Stop! Stop! That’s so…gay. Or wussy. Or whatever word is currently a substitute for “non-masculine.” Although my brother developed a crush...
