Brain on Fire....wow, that sounds scary. I hope someone is there for me if that ever happens to me. Wow.
I laughed at your comment about rape. I mean seriously, 'violent rape'. You don't say.....this culture is so very strange in it's ideas about sex and rape. I'm disgusted about the 20 Shades of Gray movie that is coming out. I've heard some very, very bad things about the book and it's portrayal of BDSM and consent. Sounds like this Ms. Wolf read too much Freud with her talk about vaginal and clitoral orgasms...
Age of Miracles sounds very interesting. I'm going to have to look for that one.
Maybe I should look into this Willpower book, too. *sigh*
I'm thrilled that you finished it despite the tangents! (Tangents are the reason I never finished Silas Marner(sp?)...I kept trying to read it and it was so dull and tangent laced that I kept getting lost and having to start over. I think I spent about an hour reading the first couple pages over and over again.) This sounds like a terrifying experience. Wow.
