Hi I was wondering if any of you know some schizophrenic writers that wrote some books either about their schizophrenic attacks or when they had schizophrenic attacks. However, if you do not, any other suggestion is welcome! :) Thanks. P.S. I am having a boring summer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, well, I suggest you read The Wheel of Time if you're a fantasy type of person... it's currently 9 books long, with I believe 4 more planned... so that should help you get through the summer... :) |

By Robert Jordan? |

Fast Food Nation.......a great book about fast food by some eric sclosser geezer |

NOT ROBERT JORDAN!!!! His series is good but the best fantasy series ever (seriously!) is A Song of Ice And Fire by George R. R. Martin. Get the first book "A Game of Thrones" THIS is what I call mature fantasy. . . it is totally realistic, and magic is believable because it is a very rare thing. No one in this book is invincible, and one is not even sure who the good guys/bad guys are, since each character has good qualities AND bad qualities. So far there are 3 books in the series, and it's easily one of the best series (of any genre) I've ever read. |

Read the book called "When I was young I had a Schizophrenic attack and killed two family members, two dogs, 13 pedestrians, a government officer, 20 police officers, crumpled a tank, ate a baby, bought 2,395 items off Ebay, bombed a grocery store AND set off a nuclear device in the pacific ocean sinking: two battle ships, 8 oil tankers, 203 sail boats, 1 airplane, 89,382 sea life forms of which 14,493 are now extict." Its a very very good book if you can find it |

I haven't read much fantasy stuff... The Hobbit, the first two books of The Lord of the Rings, and now The Wheel of Time... I'm on book 6, but this is a fantastic series though... if A Song of Ice and Fire is really that much better I'll have to check that one out after!! |

dood... BRINGERS OF THE DAWN THE CELESTINE PROPHECY these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no joke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can't go wrong with some Stephen King... his books are always entertaining, although not really on much of a deep philosophical level... It is a fantastic book... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've Never Finishes a book written by Stephen King, Maybe Im too lazy, or Maybe he isnt a good writer for my taste? =) |
||||||||

the "a song of ice and fire" series by George R R Martin is awesome!! i'm near the end of the second book now, so far its teh best fantasy book i've ever read (and yes i have read LOTR). Nice to see someone else hear who appreciates its brilliance. Neil Gaiman is an excelent author too, anyone read any of his books? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, I read It in like 9 or 10 days... it's like 1100 pages or so, so that ain't bad... I thought it was amazing!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
THE CELESTINE PROPHECY =the best book EVER!!!! |

Brave new world... was that the book with the soma..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

maybe i should talk about the book, eh? it's about a man who discovers a way to turn water into ice with out freezing it. he's got this stuff he made, it changes water so it's freezing point is like 100 degrees celcius or something. but it's much more than that, and i think it's one of the best books ever. it's pretty short too. and vonnegut is just one of the best ever. |

Monurmnt > I get the feeling some of these replies are treating Schizophrenic issues as a joke... Plus, Celestine prophecy (which I have read) has not much at all to do with schizophrenia, more a mystical quest through gateways to spiritual enlightenment.. or some other garbage (:D) I have just read a 1000 word article written by my sister about her schizophrenic problems and her experiences of medication and life in hospital It is an amazing piece of writing, maybe you would like to read that. If you're interested I could e-mail U. Spike Milligan had Manic Depression, maybe U should check him out, its not schizophrenia but diagnosis of the two is often blurred :) |

also by vonnegut, i recomend breakfast of champions |
||||||||
|
|

Philip K Dick's "Valis"... a very schizophrenic-ish, very odd novel by a writer who had just had a schizophrenic style major breakdown in the early 70's...his novel "Radio Free Albemuth" was written before that, is actually a very different first draft of Valis, and another novel he wrote at the same period called "A Scanner Darkly" is just as bizarre, about drugs and being deluded with different realities that he has created... you said you wanted schizophrenic stuff, this is it....without a doubt |

some good books: Hot Zone Cobra Event long hard road out of hell: Marilyn Manson autobiography? (i always confuse biography and autobiography its one of the 2) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah hot zone and cobra event are by richard preston i believe. hot zone is about ebola virus and cobra event is kind of similar but its fiction. |
