    I liked his tales a lot.. The Pit and the Pendulum, The Purloined Letter, and some others.

    Favorite books of mine include The Great Gatsby, Under the Banner of Heaven, and Feed.
    8 weeks on Zoloft in total, including my 4 week taper, ending on May 20th, 2013. Still going through emotional and partially physical hell.

    I also really enjoy The Giver.


    SPOILER ALERT: It's about a perfect utopian society that is pretty much on meds to blunt out everything, including all emotion [sound familiar?] and they live in a world where everything is grey and 'perfect', and 12 year old Jonah gets a job as the dream receiver.....and basically, he learns what having emotions are like and how strong they can be.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

    It is, and it actually has a series.

    I have just finished the hunger games, oh yes, heavy withdrawal and reading horror, but I enjoyed it, really really good.

    now I am re reading philip pullmans northern lights, these are all books for young adults, but they are very easy to read so good for me at the moment, Im not doing well on reading in the day time, too distracted but I can read in bed again, I went through a few months where I couldnt do it, but can again now

    in the day Im reading trashy magazines, the kind that are 50p and have stories like ''my son turned into a fish finger'' and ''real life, my head fell off'' but my mind is much more open nowadays so I feel sorry for the women whose son turned into a fish finger, muct have been terrible, probably some new GSK product that did it, I will recommend she posts it on Rxxisk

    Im looking into getting the ripley books, have you seen the film the talented mr ripley? GREAT film, and based on a series of books which are meant to be amazing.
