Healing the Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw


I enjoyed that one a lot. I don't know about him building a career on that one idea. I went to a lecture by him, and saw a lot less of the scientific approach that he took in that book. I had a long drive home to think about it, afterwards, and I felt like in his lecture he had gone too far in pathologizing various things. However, different people at the workshop had vastly different experiences and needs.

Just finished all three books in the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling).
They are awesome. Go read them.
1. The Cuckoo's Calling
2. The Silkworm
3. Career of Evil.
:heart:
I am gutted that the next one is not out yet, and may be far off. Roll on "Lethal White."

one of my all time favourite books. I love the empty pages, the silences, maybe the only book I have felt created an atmosphere.

Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights... for about the tenth time. Just finished Charlotte Bronte's Villette for the ... 3rd time?

I'm obsessed with the Bronte sisters. They are so, so Aspie, alienated and alone.
