Boooooooks.

My intake for today is a beautiful, empty, 0. Absolutely nothing. That weird taste's back in my mouth too.

I read the Openers and the first chapter of Wasted by Marya Hornbacher online, and now I really want to finish, but unfortunately I can't find a free way to download it like I did with Wintergirls. I know, downloading stuff is wrong and bad, but I don't want to pay for a downloadable version - there's something about that I just downright object to, even though I don't know what it is or why - and I don't particularly want to buy a hard copy because my mam will wonder what it is, I'll have to tell her, she'll wonder why I'm reading it, worry, pay more attention to me, I'll have to eat, I'll get fatter...

You know the drill. So I'm thinking sometime on Monday, I'll quickly sneak out of the house for about half an hour to go to the library and see what books on EDs I can find, because there are a few I want to read:

Wasted by Marya Hornbacher,
Second Star on the Right by Deborah Hautzig,
Skinny by Ibi Kaslik,
Life-Size by Jenefer Shute,
Good Girls Do Swallow by Rachael Oakes-Ash,
Thin by Grace Bowman,
Hunger Point by Jillian Medoff,
Feeling For Bones by Bethany Pierce.

If anyone has read any of these and recommend any in particular, please tell me which ones I should go for. I know I definitely want Wasted, so try to pick different ones please :)
