Hidden Valley Road is a fabulous book and I have recommended it often. Brain on Fire is also an engrossing read. I saw the author on tv and that is what motivated me to pick up the book. Both excellent and highly readable books. I watched a documentary about the Hidden Valley Road family. Tragic for those with schizophrenia as well as their caretakers.

Just finished a book in translation called The Cold by Linn Ullman. I swear that all the characters in the book had some form of mental illness. I also just finished reading Pastoral by Andre Alexis. Definitely gives you something to ponder.

I left out one of the words in the first title that I mentioned. It was The Cold Song
