Unbearable Lightness

Unbearable Lightness
Portia de Rossi

De Rossi's book is also very good, but a tough read as I have gone through it myself so it is very, very real to me. It is hard to remember those feelings and obsession. I would not recommend it to anyone still suffering from Anorexia or bulimia because it can be very triggering, but it is very useful for family or friends to try to begin to understand the horrible disease. It can become such an obsession and it is extremely hard to overcome. It is also very useful for anyone who works with teens to help recognize the possible symptoms or behaviours.  Although it is impossible for someone who has never had an eating disorder to fully understand, de Rossi's book does give a very detailed and honest look into her struggles with her disease.

Kobo

I finally broke down and bought a new Kobo reader. I really enjoy reading from it. I realize that there is no satisfaction of "turning the page" but I actually find it easier to concentrate than regular books. This also means that I can read far more books at once! I am currently reading Wanda Sykes'  "Yeah, I said it" and Portia de Rossi's "Unbearable Lightness".  I love Wanda Sykes, so that is usually the one that I read first.
