On Really Good Books About Real People: Part Four

Ahhhh Jeremy Bentham! I studied at UCL (home of JB) for a semester last year and the mummy is just as crazy as you'd imagine, if not crazier. It's also just casually in a box in a corner of the main building, so you could turn the corner and come unexpectedly face to face with him/it. Also, staying late at school was even creepier than it normally would be when you realized it was just you and a mummy in the whole creaky old building.

Another fun Bentham mummy fact: his head is no longer at his feet because, it's rumored, some King's students (UCL rivals) stole it and played football with it as a prank.

On Really Good Books About Fake Murder

@noReally My favorites include most of both of your lists! Longshot, For Kicks, The Edge, yesss. Plus Kit Fielding. Can we talk about how much I wanted to grow up to marry one of Francis's protagonists when I was a teenager reading these books?
