SuperTues Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I am waiting for my copy of the 2008 edition of Handbook Of Psychiatric Drugs.I like to be well informed about what they are poisoning me with.LOL I'm like that - at the Samaritans they had an earlier edition of that book and so when I went for a shift after my meds had changed I'd always be builly looking it up.I was reading The Virgin Suicides (which is awesome) but have been given the book Eat, Pray, Love which is a woman's account of going travel after the break up of her marriage and the devastation of her rebound relationship. I figured it made sense as I'm going through a similar thing!Oh and I'm reading Lonely Planet's Thailand - did you know that Thailand are 543years ahead of us? They go from the birth of Buddha rather than JC lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykaz Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Heat magazine, star, new, closer, ok...any other celebrity magazine which can take me away from my own life, most of them have the same bloody stories, still buy them though!!Havent managed to read a book for years..maybe I should try, read something worthwhile instead of wasting money on trashy mags!!???God I just thought, buying these mags might be a bit obsessive...I buy 6 a week!! No need for it!! When I was pregnant with my 3rd child I bought every pregnancy mag I could 2...!!! How much more was there to know after buying them all with the 1st 2 kids???? Not a v serious or hurting anyone, bad obsession...but all the same..mmmmm its got me thinking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkiegal73 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm reading two books at the moment, Suicidal Ideation and The Chronicles of Narnia. Quite a contrast btw I can't believe that WHSmiths now have a specific section for 'tragic lifes stories' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kib0ne Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah most bookshops do now and supermarkets, who's the author of the former book? I've never read Narnia/watched the motion pictures, can't see it being my cuppo tea. How are you finding them then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look when I got home. She doesn't believe PD's are a valid diagnosis though. I'm finding the Narnia books much more moralistic than I remember, irritatingly so. I'm more on the side of the white witch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkiegal73 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I just read this book in one afternoon and loved it. It's from the richard and judy summer read collection and is about a woman with ocd who has to count everything. it's fictional and both funny and sad.Addition by toni jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfish Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 oh sounds good. i have seen it and no doubt will get round to getting it eventually. i normally like richard and judy's book group books.i'm reading Norwegian Wood by a Hong Kong author that I can't remember how to spell or even hazard a guess. It's my book group book for this month. One of the characters seems to be living in what I could only describe as a therapeutic community although she has just become too ill to be even there so is now moving to a psychiatric hospital. The book is good but it's a bit too obscure to really describe what it's about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
