I've read about them some and also watched some documentaries and movies. I happen to be an identical twin myself so whenever a book about them comes along or a movie pops up, I have to read/see it. If it's weird or strange, that's even better.

I was unaware he had a serious car accident. I can't even remember the titles of the last two books I read of his or even what they were about, I just remember I really wasn't very involved with the characters or the story, and they were both waay too long.
