@hanami @FloatingFeather I like reading autobiographies of people who live with mental illness. My most recent book like that was 'The Centre Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness' by Elyn Saks. What an inspiring lady, she's a lawyer and high in academia. I first heard of her from a video on YouTube then I borrowed her book from my local library. The autobiography was raw and real, no sugar coated story. I liked her honesty in telling her story,  so much courage!

 

I'm interested to read more books like this so I'll look up Matt Haig, thanks.
