"When a Fan Hits the Shit: The Rise and Fall of a Phony Charity."

http://www.turondo.com/

After having a friend recommend this a while back, I went looking for it in a used book store the other day. To my surprise, they had it shelved in their true crime section.

A few years ago, a couple of deranged (read: sociopathic) fans of the "Lord of the Rings" film franchise devised a "plan" to run a fake non-profit organization to get in good with the actors in the LotR movies. The result? Was horrifying. The story of how they were eventually found out? Is epic. This tale is chock full of bizarre, rarely seen craziness--delusional depressives, evil airlines, a woman pretending to be a man...

I read it in one sitting. Highly recommended.
