Thought-Provoking Books

Posted in Home by disabilityactiongroup on March 9, 2011

The thing about books/novels is that is offers so much more into the minds of persons with disabilities.  Books/novels offer a more in depth look into the experiences and often allow you to feel as a participant instead of feel as a viewer.  Some suggested reads are:

Still Me by Christopher Reeve
The Diving Bell and Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon
The Three Faces of Eve by Corbett H. Thigpen
Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber
When Rabbit Howls by Truddi Chase

How about these books? Has anyone had an opportunity to read any of the above books? Do you think that they gave an accurate glimpse into the life of an individual with a disability?
