There is a wealth of information in the 11,000 pages, along with a mountain of petty detail that will drive you nuts. You won't get far without an index, so I'm going to provide. 

 

1. My Guide to very specific key passages.

 

2. An overall guide to major sections of the entire 11,000 pages.

 

1. Here is my guide. These are among the passages I found most interesting as I waded through them for days on end at the Columbine library (part of the Jeffco system, where they have bound print copies. You can also find them all online--link and explanation below). I highlighted three of particular interest.

 

Where I had the exact start/end pages, I listed them. Ellipses mean I noted the starting page or a key page while in the library and don't have the precise starting/ending pages with me while I'm preparing this list:

 

Basic stats on Eric                                                     10078 . . .

Marines (debunks theory that Eric was angry

they turned him down; he didn't even know)               10086 . . .

Luvox                                                                          10089 . . .

Bowling                                                                       10120-10134

Bowling repeats                                                         10457-10459

Blackjack pizza                                                          10141 . . .

Interview w/ Susan Dewitt, who spent prom

    night w/ Eric                                                            10207 . . .

Eric's "Girls List"                                                     10276 . . .

Dylan's resume                                                          10476 . . .

Eric's website (pages and pages of his bile) 10410-10432

Audio tape                                                                  10409 . . .

Yearbook pages                                                         10446-10450

Dylan's foreshadowing creative writing essay         10462-10468

 

 

 2. This is a more comprehensive but less detailed list of all major sections, compiled by someone else. I believe I found it years ago at this site (http://users.sedona.net/~redstone/columbine/INDEX.DOC) site, which is long since inactive, along with 77 pages of more detailed indexing.

 

I have highlighted the three sections I think you'll find most enlightening, which deal with the killers, and appear almost at the end.
