Wow. I feel like I should give out awards for yesterday's crop of Marginal Encounters with Fame. But this would require me to critically assess all the entries instead of just reading and enjoying, so perhaps I won't bother. Anyway, I enjoyed them all very much, so thank you. (Seriously, that could so be an LJ community...)

21 pages of epilepsy to go! Can she do it? Maybe so...

Tangential, but: Have you read David B's Epileptic? The best autobiographical comic book I've ever seen. It's about how his older brother's epilepsy affected his family. Brilliant, beautiful book.

Lauren Slater's Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir is another wonderful book about epilepsy. It's a bit complex, though, since she admits she's making up a lot of her story.

I've read two favourable reviews of Epileptic and now here's you recommending it -- it certainly sounds like I should track down a copy. Thanks!

And I'll look up the other one too. Verry interesting.
