Excerpts

I've read a couple of excerpts of interesting books on Scribd

Your Voice in My Head by Emma Forrest - here's another extract in the Guardian

Nina Here Nor There by Nick Krieger

Forrest's book is about her experience of being in therapy and Krieger's book is about his gender transition. Both seem well written and reflective accounts, which is what appeals. Both the "I was nuts but then I saw this therapist" and "I was in the wrong body and then I changed gender and I am ok now" narratives have been done many times and I have had too much of both over the years. But I love a good book on either subject from time to time.

The frustrating thing is that the two copies of Forrest's books are late back by 2 months so I doubt my reservation will come through any time soon, if at all. And Krieger's book is published in the US so unless I order it from there, I won't get to read it. I am not going to because if I get his book, I will have to get so many others...
