I've been fascinated by it since a puzzling reference in a Stephen King book.
There have been many, which I have tracked down over the years!
My parents couldn't help either.
It must have been big news over here too, but neither of them knew what Jim Jones or poisoned Koolaid meant.
It's far easier to track down refs now, because of the internet, but I much prefer to read around them too.
I might ask my Secret Santa this year for a good Jim Jones book, so be prepared to be consulted. Hey! Maybe our theme could be serial killers for 2009! Or just Murder Most Horrid. I mean you have everything from clown wigs to Koolaid...
