Body count: 2.
Johnathan Croom, the second young man to disappear into the southern Oregon wilderness this year after reading the book “Into the Wild,” was found dead Monday near his abandoned vehicle in the small town of Riddle. The 18-year-old was from Apache Junction, Ariz. His death is being investigated as a suicide. He discussed the 1996 book by Jon Krakauer with his parents before leaving home, driven, his father said, by frustration in his romantic life.

Remember when depressed emo kids would just listen to the Cure nonstop?

Ha.

I assume the Bible has the #1 body count of all time, though.

I was going to say Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged just to annoy folk. However, on a serious note I might go with Clausewitz's On War.
