I've always wanted to read what you picked for #18, The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays. I'm really not into nonfiction books, especially essays, but I love reading characters in novels that do not fit into a "normal" categorify. Please share your take on this book when you're finished; I'm very interested in your viewpoint. Thanks.
