On my own free time I read Girl, Interrupted, a memoir written by Susanna Kaysen. This memoir is an account of her experiences in a psychiatric hospital during the 1960s after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The book does not follow a typical linear plot, instead the author chooses to reflect on events through a series of non-chronological reflections. Through her experiences at the hospital Susanna meets other individuals going through dissimilar experiences, yet they share a common bond of the female spirit. Written with honest personal revelation and poignancy, Girl, Interrupted is a fascinating story of survival amongst defying circumstances. (Corbin - senior)

This is a very interesting book, Corbin. Have you seen the movie? Not bad. You might also enjoy reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (also a great movie with Jack Nicholson).
I saw the movie! I thought Angelina Jolie's performance was outstanding. I haven't read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I'll check it out.
