Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away With Murder

By Vincent Bugliosi. This book is the only thing that kept me from completely losing it during the NYC blackout of 2003, but whether it's actually that compelling/well-written or it just had an extremely captive (and sweaty) audience, I can't really say -- I haven't reread it in the interim. I suspect it hasn't aged terribly well, but whatever else you feel about V. Bugs, you can't say he didn't know how to go on a book-length stemwinder.  This particular first edition is a nice reading copy if you're curious -- the jacket shows some rubbing and shelfwear to the edges, but is straight as a string with clean, tight pages.
