The Life of Hunger by Amelie Northomb
It's about her eating disorder and more widely the philosophical question about hunger in us as humans, such as the hunger for knowledge and experience. It's ****ing incredible. I would LOVE to write something like this one day but she's just too good!

How could you become as awesome as you are and still feel like a loser?
Very good so far, only been reading it for just over a week; less than 100 pages to go.
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be. And if that's what you wanted, well I am so sorry... So mighty, so hegemonic, so hating, so desecrating, so there, so nowhere, so hurting, we fall between indifference, rejection...

I've just finished The Kite Runner. Such an amazing book, made me cry a little in parts. I haven't seen the film yet but from what i've heard the book should be read first.

So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.
It is pretty horrible I agree, although it's nothing compared to Easton Ellis's American Psycho. If PZB was too much, that would definitely be! Although I can't remember him actually eating them.... Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
I just started Wild Boy (Jill Dawson), about a boy raised with wolves (true story) and brought up the whole nature/nurture debate again, which I am fascinated by. It's a novel but kind of researched and set in a real story. I'm loving it so far but I'm only 50 pages in. I think it has some stuff about autism in it further on and I'm looking forward to hearing her thoughts.

Just finished reading a set of books by Karin Slaughter. They were good, I really enjoyed them. Wee bit gory, but I really really liked them.
Except thru the 6 books I got all attached to the characters and then one died. It made me sad. Up until that point tho they were really good, I can't wait till the next one.
