| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| |  Favorite Authors
Noticed that there wasn't a thread for this and just thought I would throw it out there. As I am a very avid reader, one of the few remaining things I can really say I enjoy doing. I have a tendency to read fictional books from a time period of the ice age to pre 1900. But I have to admit that my ultimate all time favorite author is STEPHEN KING. I have most of his books at home in my bookshelf. I think I have read most every thing he has put out. I am waiting for the book store to order Lizzys Story for me right now.
My ultimate favorite it the Gunslinger Series. The whole set consists of 7 books. I do have the whole set and have read the whole 3 or 4 times through so far. For some weird reason I feel a connection between them and my life as it is.
Just curious anyone else have a favorite? |

My favourite authors are Josephine Cox Danielle Steele and Joan Jonker the latter is really funny.
I like to read a lot and am never away from the library, i would be lost without a book.
Not for me the Mills and Boon romance stuff as they are all the same and real life is not like that as we know. |

I used to like John Saul. But these days it is all I have to make it through one post at a time. Can't really read anymore. I got a book I wanted for Christmas, but I have not been able to focus on it beyond the first page, since this is more interactive it helps. |

I like George Orwell, Anthony Burgess and Aldous Huxley best. Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Clockwork Orange, The End of the World News and Brave New World are probably my five favorite books ever. I also like H.P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, Ambroise Bierce, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Anton Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky. Heavy stuff.
Graphic novel writers, my favorite is Alan Moore, who is the author of Watchmen, A Small Killing, and V for Vendetta. I also like Maus (Art Spiegelman), and Stuck Rubber Baby (Howard Cruse). |

Hey Mouse I like P. Cromwell also as does my husband and he hates to read. Another favorite is Jean Auel and the Earths Children series. I have read them through and through again. For me they are an escape. I get into them so much that its like I'm looking through the eyes of the main character. When I start reading you could scream at me and I will not hear you. Used to drive my mom nuts. |

I like books by James Heriot, like It shouldn't happen to a Vet, about a young Vet in North Yorkshire before and after WW2, it is very funny and very moving as well.
