Center Cannot Hold, The: My Journey Through Madness

Elyn R. Saks


Notes:

An interesting look into the mind of a schizophrenic, but a little too self-congratulatory for my taste. It seemed like there was a lot of phony self-deprecation going on ("I'm all crazy so there's no way I was going to graduate. Wait, just kidding! I made valedictorian!"). But the passages about what actually goes on in her head during one of her "episodes" were fascinating.

The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel

Diane Setterfield


Notes:

I really liked this book, despite having a few issues with the ending. Might have to read it again to see if I can figure out what's really going on. This would make a good film. Unless they screw it up.

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel

Susanna Clarke; Portia Rosenberg


Notes:

Liking this so far, though I'm only about a third of the way into it. Very Dickensian, in a good way.
