Just addressing a question you had had about Andrew Solomon.
Also, for those interested in the book you can download a chapter here. > > http://www.noondaydemon.com/
I'm having trouble containing my enthusiasm about Solomon's writing.
It's just a great book. I'll stop there. :-)

I am now up to page 100 (yes, do be amazed) - this is a wonderfully written book. I'm with Phil. If you love to read, I highly recommend it.

> Your resident hounddog.I have now just finished reading 'The Noonday Demon'. True, Andrew Soloman is a very good writer and the book is well-written and a good read. At first I was expecting a biography type book but it wasnt like that despite what we learn about Solomans experience with depression. Its like the subtitle says 'An Atlas Of Depression' and you learn more about depression than Soloman. The Notes at the back show how thoroughly researched this topic has been.
Of the case studies of the victims of depression I thought Angel Starkey's was v-poignant although these are all sad tales.
