One of my relatives wants to know what I want for Christmas, but she said she wanted to give me something non-video game related. I'm almost done reading Alan Greenspan's "Age of Turbulence", and before that I was reading "Gold: Once and Future Money", just to give you an idea of what I'm in to. And, Ace. I'm open for any psychological books, if you have something exceptional to recommend.

They're psychology books...
The Bell Jar/The Glass Castle are basically non-fiction stories of the author's lives altered/made into a fictional story.
Use google/Barnes and Noble. : D

tangocat777 Ace Paladin They're psychology books...
The Bell Jar/The Glass Castle are basically non-fiction stories of the author's lives altered/made into a fictional story.
Use google/Barnes and Noble. : D Right, that's what I was hoiping for from you, but what in the world is Girl Interrupted about? Quote: In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele--Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles--as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary.
Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching documnet that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.
It was made into a movie staring Wynona Ryder and Angelina Jolie.
And Sylvia Plath was the author of The Bell Jar.... recommended above. xD

You got something for me, Sakyh?
If not, I'm leaning towards mistakes were made. Perhaps it will help me understand some of the bad decisions and their justifications made on a daily basis by some of the people on Gaia.
Edit: Too late. You'll just have to tell me the name of your raunchy science book next Christmas.
