Playing catch up on #OctoberXFiles . I had a little trouble finding something for #MisterAsylum , then discovered this on my shelf. A tad bit of a stretch, but a look at a woman‘s descent into madness certainly looks at mental health. Plus, it‘s a classic.

Robothugs Not a stretch at all! A good pick! 6y
Ava_Black Rereading it now! 6y
Cinfhen Great pick and fabulous editon💖 6y
Cathythoughts Great pic ! Great cover ! 6y

While this is more a case of Miss Asylum than #MisterAsylum, it still works for today‘s prompt 👍

I‘ve been dying to read this memoir based on 12 patients at Bellevue Hospital (insane asylum) for so long. So many books so little time!!!

saresmoore Oh, hey! I was just thinking of you and wanted to check in, see how you‘re doing. Hope all is well and that good life things are on the horizon. ♥️ 6y
emilyhaldi @saresmoore you‘re so sweet! I have been meaning to post about Villette to let you know I DID start it... now that I‘ve bailed on this tagged book I plan on diving in deeper. Loving it so far!! 6y
emilyhaldi But ALSO @saresmoore my husband and I are in contract on a house as of last week 🤗🤞🏻 getting through inspections tomorrow and then hopefully it‘s smooth sailing from there!! All good things!! ☺️ hope all is well with you and your fam! (edited) 6y
saresmoore That is so awesome! I‘m very happy for you guys! I slowed way down on Villette because (of course) Littens convinced me I shouldn‘t bail on Les Mis. 🙄 Ha! I‘m really liking Villette, too. It‘s refreshing, even if it is full of antiquated prejudice. 😬 6y
emilyhaldi Thanks!! @saresmoore it‘s an exciting next step 🙏🏻 personally, im admittedly glad you slowed down on Villette so I can catch up 😉 and yes, certainly some prejudices there but brilliant writing too 😄 6y
Mdargusch Tagged book sounds interesting. It might show what life at Twin Valley is like for you know who. 6y

This was an unfamiliar song, so I pulled up the lyrics (yay Google!). When I read the second verse, this book popped right into my mind. It‘s a memoir written by a man afflicted with a type of stroke called “locked-in syndrome.” He dictated the book by blinking his left eyelid. Not a long book, it‘s a five-star gut punch. Worth an afternoon, especially if you know anyone who‘s been through any type of brain injury.

2BR02B Have you seen the movie? It's phenomenal. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @2BR02B No, but I should watch. I couldn‘t do it right after reading the book. But now I could. Thanks for the reminder! 6y
Cinfhen I‘ve heard about book and movie 📖🍿 great choice and what a remarkable achievement 6y
Robothugs Ohh good choice. I‘ll have to read this sometime 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @Robothugs It‘s a remarkable book. I can‘t imagine dictating with blinks. He‘s incredibly honest, so be prepared for the tough stuff. 6y

One of my favorite Poe stories. 🖤 Our narrator is quickly driven mad by the fear and guilt he experienced after killing an old man.

If you have a favorite Poe story or poem, please share!

Both of these characters should go in an #asylum. (Closest I could get today!) #misterasylum #OctoberXFiles @Cinfhen @Robothugs

Cinfhen You‘re still going strong 💪🏼 6y
Stacy_31 Excellent choices. 👍🏼👍🏼 6y
GingerAntics The one on the right actually has been (the actor at least). In 1994 he was in this great Scottish mini series called “Taking Over the Asylum.” He played a manic depressive who became a disk jockey. It‘s one of my favourite shows of all time. 6y
Robothugs I agree with @Cinfhen ! Doing great! 6y
scowler1 Good Omens coming soon on Amazon! Looks great with David Tennant part of an impressive cast. #TerryPratchett #NeilGaiman 6y
