Blogs and Books

Just in case someone comes across this blog I wanted to ask if you know of other good blogs and books about Schizophrenia.
I have read recently Weekends At Bellevue by Dr. Julie Holland (non-fiction) It gives an interesting view of how we are treated/thought of by mental health care professionals.

Henry's Deamons by Patrick and Henry Cockburn. (non-fiction) This book is an interesting idea as it it written by both father and son in alternating chapters. The father spends to much time writing about his journalism creds for my liking but none the less I enjoyed it. (mostly enjoyed the sons parts)

I Know This Much To Be True (fiction) by Wally Lamb. I prefer non fiction but this is a very good book. It's a book I put down for months then pick up again b/c it's great but I find it very depressing. I told my psychiatrist it was depressing and she was surprised. It makes me wonder if she really understands how devastating this disease can be to the people who have it. She obviously can't put herself in my shoes. I can't explain anymore b/c I don't want to give away the book.
