QOTD- Favorite book about mental health?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a tour-de-force. Focused on the story about a sane man being sentence to an asylum, Cuckoo's Nest it's about what we consider 'healthy' in an ultimately insane world. It also asks us to consider what it means to be free, how we treat ourselves as individuals, and most importantly, how it important it is to fight against the system, whichever it may be

The Last Conversation | Paul Tremblay

What has been your best quarantine read?

A man wakes up in isolation with no memory and is told that he's being kept inside because his immune system's compromised and there's been a horrible pandemic outside.

The sense of mystery was good, but the story was a little fatty and predictable, so in the end i'd only recommend this for previous fans of Tremblay's work

Never seen a more true statement. There are many books to movies that come to mind but the first that I think of is Lord of the Rings. Books had so much more depth. What book to movies do you think this is true for? #booksarebetter

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Ready Player One, all the Harry Potter books... 😁 5y
Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures I love this image. And it is so true, which is why I always try to read the book before seeing the movie. 😊 5y

I had to take a break from my Kirsten Hannah books, I love her writing but it‘s way too intense for back to back reading. So I‘m listening to Divergent, I‘ve only ever watched the movies and I love seeing the sometimes subtle sometimes massive differences #booksarebetter #2018 #yearofbooks

Roadwork | Stephen King

Starting #22 as I journey through the Stephen King universe in order! Easier than I thought it would be since he is so readable! Just finished Pet Sematary and only gave it a So/So....I didn't like Louis and I couldn't stand Rachel. #booksarebetter #readmore

Saw this on Facebook. So many people answered books it made me want to weep. #booksarebetter

AmyG I would bump down to decaf...and keep books. That is a huge sacrifice. 6y
OrangeMooseReads @AmyG I could never give up books. I‘ll deal with the withdrawals from no coffee before I give up books. 6y

JSW I honestly think I‘d *melodrama* die without books. 6y
LisaJo I might be a little cranky, but it would have to be coffee. There‘s always soda for caffeine. But, I couldn‘t give up books. At first I thought it read coffee or give up melodrama books. I could give up melodrama books there‘s plenty of other type out there. But, then I reread. 📚 📖 6y

The new Star Wars Movie is great but I‘m always thrown off by the ‘No Spoilers‘ franticness... most movies where I‘m going as adiehard fan, I know the whole story at least 2 years in advance. #booksarebetter

Used our free tickets to go see Wonder this afternoon. The 8yo and I really liked it. I loved hearing him make comparisons between the book and film. #lifelessons #booksarebetter

MeganAnn We took Axton to see it last night! It was so fun talking with him about the differences between the book and the movie as well. ☺️ 6y
MrsMalaprop @MeganAnn Hey Megan. Auspost tells me the package has arrived!? 6y
MeganAnn @MrsMalaprop I just posted a picture of it. 🙃 We got it! It's quite damaged though so I hope everything is there. 6y

Not going to spoil this for anyone who hasn‘t read it or seen the movie (but GO read it, it‘s amazing) - so just to say this whole book is about whether we can forgive another, or atone for a terrible mistake and earn forgiveness.

I struggle to forgive a character in this book!

robinb I saw the movie....not sure I could make it through the book! 😳 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @robinb That's how I feel too! 7y

Centique @robinb oh yes it gives you lots of feelings for sure! The book I think was more intense than the movie - but then I read it first so maybe that‘s why. 7y
BarbaraBB Perfect pick as well! 7y
Cinfhen I've only seen the film...and I didn't love it 😞I need to try the book! #BooksAreBetter 7y
LeahBergen I adore this book. ❤️ 7y
Centique @LeahBergen I remember finishing it and being desperate to talk to someone about how it ended 😨💕 7y
Centique @Cinfhen brilliant hashtag! 7y
Cinfhen Thanks! It's the truth💚 7y
TheBookStacker My favorite of his books I think 7y
Centique @TheBookStacker I don‘t think I‘ve read any of his others. Any recommendations? 7y
TheBookStacker I enjoyed The Children Act, and I was so so about Nutshell, and I loved Amsterdam mainly because I love Amsterdam! 7y
Centique @TheBookStacker oh good, Amsterdam is on my TBR. I‘ve only spent a couple of days there but the bit I saw was so beautiful. Have to get back there! 7y
