The Complete Manual of Suicide

Heard about this book a few years ago actually, but it is only recently that I am interested in reading it. Don't know where to get a hold of it though. It is a pretty controversial book and has been banned in many countries.
Its written by a charming Japanese fellow called Wataru Tsurumi, and basically lists a variety of ways one can commit suicide. Here one can read about everything from overdosing, freezing, drowning, to self-immolation(setting yourself on fire), self-defenestration (crashing through a window and jumping out of a building), slashing of the wrists, arteries and car collisions. The book asks the question "Why must one live?"
I love Japanese people.
