The next book I read after "the audacity of hope" was "Girls interrupted". It describes the life of a girl,Susana, who is mentally disordered. This is a very interesting and well written book. I liked it a lot.
One of my favorate page is the doctor's note on Susana's case, and it records the evidences indicating Susana's illness. The following is the abstract version of that note:
1. The chaotic unplanned life.
2. Hopeless ideas.
3. No therapy and no plans at present.
4. Immersion in fantasy.
After I closed the book, my heart is flooded with the fear towards Doctors...I am often called as a "Doctor". But you know, what type of Doctors I am talking about here.
I absolutely need to make sure that they are at least 2 miles away from me. I suddenly realize that the reason I am still so mentally healthy and have a unlocked up life is because I haven't met a doctor yet.
Overall, it is a fun book to read....My favorite joke in that book: Someone in the ice cream shop asked Susanna: Do you need some nuts on your ice cream????
