this month i only read one book...and i didn't even read it - i listened to it in the car. gah! i will blame AP exams (i am the AP coordinator at my school and the event takes up my life for two weeks). we're done with the school year, though - bring on the books!
the month i "read":
brain on fire: my month of madness, by susannah cahalan (this memoir chronicles the author's descent into what her family and doctors initially think is schizophrenia and almost institutionalize her for...and turns out to be a rare form of encephalitis. really interesting to hear about how the disease manifested itself and how the doctors eventually figured out what was going on. a little repetitive towards the end - and i do sometimes wonder how someone under 30 can write a memoir - but overall i enjoyed listening to this. i wouldn't suggest you put it at the top of your list, but if you happen upon this book it was a worthwhile read.)
