I found out about this book during an orientation where something caught fire, we were evacuated, and we took with us some personal belongings that were left behind. One of the items was this book. No, I did not steal it, I assume it got back to its rightful owner. Instead, I reserved it from my friendly local library. And, you know, I've been going to this library for the better part of fifteen years but I still don't know anyone's name. There is very little turnover so I should, but they don't wear name tags. One lady there, an older lady, always comments on the books I check out. This isn't really a problem because she's cool about it. She's offered to help me with knitting and even recommends books about knitting. The funniest time was once when I checked out America by Jon Stewart. My mom and I were talking about how they were not selling it at Wal-Mart due to nudity and the librarienne looked it up. She laughed.

But I digress. More library stories to come later because they're SO interesting.

Siegel's writing style is somewhat lighthearted. The case studies seem to be mostly drug related paranoia which is fine, but not exactly what I was looking for. In fact, lots of cocaine based paranoia.
