If he's freaked out by this...

...I hope he never, ever look at my bookcases. Or those of my writer friends. He'd be in for a real shock.

"He" is one of the bloggers at the New York Times, who was a little anxious about a collection of books being auctioned off from a police evidence room. The books in question were part of the "Howdunit" series, which is pretty basic stuff for crime writers--intros to crime scene investigation, poisons, etc.

Pretty funny.
