After reading this book I came to appreciate the good qualities of being an introvert. 1 day ago

Finished Sybil Exposed: The Extraordinary Story Behind the Famous Multiple Personality Case by Debbie Nathan. It was an okay book. I am glad it has made me question and WHY it has made me question the existence of multiple personality disorder. The interaction between a society and an individual is incredible. Sybil, or Shirley Mason, was an individual. And once her case, which may or may not be true, was known many more people were diagnosed with MPD. But is the disorder the result of drugs? Or pernicious anemia? I am disappointed in the book that I feel I will never know whether MPD is an actual disorder or not and if anything about Sybil/Shirley’s case was true. 5 months ago

Ironically, I just finished Columbine last night. I had started it this summer and finally finished it. Definitely an eye opening book. Now that the fall semester is over, I can take a month to try to read more. I’m so excited because I was recently introduced to basically a networking website for books. I’m finding all these books that I have read in the past and books I want to read in the future. A good way to organize my virtual library. Must read more! I feel inspired to read more! 5 months ago

I finished “Think Twice” yesterday. The ending was so cheesy! The last line of the book was the dog barking. Really? It was pretty good overall. I was expecting more of a bang but the author pulled off an okay story. Time to read Columbine! 9 months ago

I finished Everyone She Loved awhile ago. Just finished The Woman Who Can’t Forget yesterday. The latter was pretty good. I could relate to it when she talked of therapy and not being able to forget horrible memories. I hope to start Think Twice tomorrow, maybe Friday. Le sigh. 10 months ago

I used to love reading so much in middle school and early high school. But then I just got busy with life unfortunately. One of my good friends somehow has time to read for fun and work and be a college student. He is inspiring to try to pick up a book more and just relax and read. I have about 35 pages left of Sex, Murder, and the Meaning of Life. I hope to finish it today. Here is a good place though to write about my thoughts on books and the upcoming books I read and keep track of how much I read it in a day to try to push myself to read more. 11 months ago
