When I'm feeling particularly awful, can't get out of bed and there's no hope in sight, I devour 'touchy feely' stories of others' pain. They are the only books that bring me comfort and make me feel like I'm not alone in this hell. I sometimes sleep curled up around them, like teddy bears. Later on when the ol' brain starts to fire up again, I'll move on to more technical theoretical neuro science stuff, but while I'm in the grip of a major depression? I don't think so. I'd just end up feeling more inadequate and dumb.
