Score

The Waldo Canyon Fire was no accident either.

A suggestion to perhaps add "pyromaniac", "pyromania" to the searchable tags? Also "fire bug", "firebug". :) Thanks for this list!

Thanks, Capn. I added them, but it does look as if this list never really took off.

I don't see why it didn't get off like a house afire! XD

(But seriously - it's a great list!) :) Thanks for it!

I added the max number of votes and invited a whole bunch of other voters, so it looks like it's getting more built up!

I did have a question for the list creator. This list is only for books where the *primary* theme is arson, correct? I don't think Buses Are a Comin' fits. A bus does get firebombed, but it is only one small incident in a book that is mostly about other things.

Does the firebombing of a church count?

I read a book about that also but can't recall the title of the book.

Absolutely!

Thank you for your support, Rainbow. However, I do think Buses Are a Comin' is a legitimate entry, and when I saw it, I cast a vote for it, too. The story isn't focused on the bombing itself, but upon the courage these young people had to have in the face of overwhelming danger and hostility, and nothing exemplifies that better than the climactic firebombing of their bus. It fits.

Ah, okay! Sounds good. Just wanted to double check. :)

I hadn't visited this list in quite some time, and am pleased to see that it has grown. Better still, nobody has clogged it with spam, or with titles that just don't belong here. Thank you all.
