I've had an idea kicking around in my head for awhile, and thought I'd bounce it off of you guys.
I was thinking about a book on suicide. Not one of those cutsey little self-help/prevention books though. More like one of the for Dummies or Idiot's Guide books, although I definitely don't want to make it a how to book.
I was thinking more along the lines of writing about it historically, trivia, various methods, anecdotal tales, suicide in pop culture, assisted suicide, even a section of suicide jokes. Basically, I'd like to fill it full of the interesting little details you get in some of those types of books. Maybe even a section on Darwin award type accidental deaths, sort of the suicidal equivalent of manslaughter.
It's morbid, but I know I'd like to read that sort of thing. And statistically, most people go through at least a suicidal phase at some point, so Lord knows there'd be an interest.
One thing's for sure. It'd need a good title, and one hell of a legal disclaimer.......What do you think?
