Now back to the morbid books -- The Hospital: How I survived the secret child experiments at Aston Hall by Barbara O'Hare-- about abused children (girls) in a psych hospital where doctors experiment on the children.

Re: 2017 What Are You Reading
Have to love the recommends which sees this reader's stash with enough books to see me through a good many reads as well! Saw Braithwaite and it was another added to my must reads! Braithwaites ‘To Sir With Love' both the book and the movie remain unforgeable. I suspect the same for ‘Paid Servent’
I am now reading 'Paid Servent ' by “E.R Braithwaite, the acclaimed author of ‘To Sir, With Love’ poignatly recounts his times a social worker dedicated to London’s abandoned minority children. Writing with great power, warmth, and a deep belief in human dignity and worth, Braithwaite offers a heartbreaking yet hopeful look into a society’s attempt to care for its youngest, most vulnerable citizens.”

Shadows, I just heard the movie "The Circle" with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson, it is very similar to "1984". Have you seen it?Shadows1 wrote:I just started reading "1984" again. I read it back in high school a long long time ago, it made me think back then, but now...
It is just plain scary how it parallels what is happening in the US now!
I am only starting chapter two and already shaking my head!
