#NeuroticSociety

DebinHawaii
Bridget Jones's Diary | Helen Fielding
post image

#FierceFeb #NeuroticSociety Bridget Jones puts some good fun into neurosis & is a great neurotic leading character so I thought of her first for today's prompt. After all it's Monday (& it definitely was a Monday kind of day!) 😬& I need a little fun. Bridget (& Colin Firth as Mark Darcy in the movie version) 😍never fails to make me smile. I should probably go ahead & do double duty & make her my candidate for tomorrow's #bachelorette prompt.👍😀

Zelma I adore Bridget Jones. I thought the book was fine but not my favorite. However, the move grew on me and I know just love it. 6y
DebinHawaii @Zelma I'm a bigger fan of the movie than the book too! 😆👍 6y
batsy Haven't read the book but I adore the movie! Renee Zellweger *is* Bridget! Well played for both prompts 👏🏽😊 6y

BookNerd9906 I agree, one of the few movies that was better than the book. I might be dating myself, but I thought the same thing of Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. 6y
LauraBeth I LOVE Bridget Jones so much! 6y
rubyslippersreads @batsy I ❤️ both book and movie, and highly recommend the book. It's one of my comfort reads. 😊 6y
batsy @rubyslippersreads I'll definitely have to read it, then 😊 6y

This is a really unique and funny book of Allie Brosh‘s drawings and writings which include lots of emotions one of which is definitely neurosis ! As a pretty neurotic person myself, I can relate. #NeuroticSociety #FierceFeb

batsy Nice one! I love her drawings and should get the book. That subtitle cracks me up 😂 6y
Christine11 @batsy I think her drawings are great too ! Very original and funny ! 😊💗 6y
britt_brooke Loved this one! 6y

A woman is trapped in a room for her "health" after giving birth, and she begins to unravel. A quick, unsettling read by a feminist of her day.

Tamra This is one of my favorite creepy category reads. 6y

LeahBergen So good! 👏🏻 6y
ephemeralwaltz @Tamra I read Herland a couple of years ago! It's on serial reader - a group of men discover an organized and striving civilization of ONLY women (crazy, huh?) her creation of a whole new female society is so empowering! 6y
Tamra @ephemeralwaltz wow, I‘ll stack it. 6y
ephemeralwaltz @Tamra very ahead of its time but a bit dated nowadays. Still a feminist utopia worth a read! 6y
readordierachel @ephemeralwaltz That sounds amazing. Definitely stacking. 6y
EllanaRose I read this at my old university and I didn't get it on the first read. Second read, and it still haunts me almost a decade later. Brilliantly written 6y
batsy Great choice, this is one read that never stops being creepy and unsettling. Love the cover here! And I agree with @ephemeralwaltz , Herland is dated but a fascinating read 👍🏽 6y
ephemeralwaltz @batsy thanks! It is! @ReadOrDieRachel @Tamra I hope you enjoy it! 6y
readordierachel @batsy Thanks :) I definitely need to check out Herland. And I like this cover a lot too! 6y
readordierachel @EllanaRose I can see how this would be a story that gets better with subsequent reading. I should reread it myself. 6y
RohitSawant Loved this one! Perfect pick! 6y

jon ronson was able to shed light on some particularly neurotic individuals and groups in these two books- when i got them out for this it made me want to reread them as his writing is so spot on.

batsy Sounds very interesting. And such arresting covers! 6y

My Age of Anxiety is an entertaining yet informative trip through the history of GAD and panic disorder.

These two friends are both doctors who are 19th century pioneers of mental health treatments for people who aren't coping with reality. They establish a sanctuary for long term treatments.
I have loved every Sebastian Faulks novel I have read including this one.

This is still on my #tbr, but I‘m expecting some pretty heavy themes of #neuroticsociety 👀👀

#FierceFeb

batsy It's a good one!👏🏽 And that's a cool cover I haven't seen, I don't think 👍🏽 6y
readordierachel Just read this for the first time last year and loved it! 6y
mrp27 Same. I've been meaning to read it for the longest time. 6y
Kalalalatja @batsy I got it from the sweet @Sarah83 who bought it at a German book town ☺️ I hadn‘t seen the edition before either! @ReadOrDieRachel I read Animal Farm last year and loved it, so I hope I‘ll feel the same about this 🤞 @mrp27 it seems like a must read for this time! 6y
Sarah83 Hope you like it 😉 6y
