Ha, I know, I love it too! I nearly cried during that bit at the end where they were pretending he was cured.

…is one of my favorite movies. And not just because of Johnny Depp, but it sure helps.

Hahahah, all stalking should be disguised as book recommendating. Thanks for the recommendation! It looks a bit like this Johnny Depp film called Don Juan de Marco.

I do not have a challenge (yet) but I am gradually trying to compile a list and think of a brilliant name to call it…

Just read Waiting for Columbus by Thomas Trofimuk. I think it would fit your challenge and you would be impressed.

🙂

I will! I was sort of joking when I mentioned it before, but I’m getting more serious about it. I think it would be great to see what people would read!

Aw, did they think that? Was the root of the problem the character’s fault? Because if the root of the problem is childhood abuse or something like that (in the book, I mean, not in real life), it’s not the character’s fault at all.

I hope you enjoy it!

Girl Interrupted is pretty good, although I do feel the best bit about it was its title. That’s just a really good title. I kind of want to make up the challenge just to make myself read a bunch of the nonfiction books that have been written lately about the efficacy of mental health meds, how well-supported our brain-chemical theories of mental health are, and like that. And to hopefully find more books like Nate Powell’s. 🙂

I know, I do too, but the rest of the book was really good. Plus I went looking around the internets to see if other people found the ending confusing/ambiguous, and yes, they did. So I may be dumb but I’m not alone. 😛
