the burn journals


procrastination is the name of the game right now. i've been making some progress on my presentation for wednesday, but i just had to post about this book, 'the burn journals' by brent runyon. i finished it over the weekend.

it's about a young teenager who repeatedly tried to kill himself and ended up burning himself terribly. the book focuses on the events leading up to the fire and the first year after the fire. it seems emotionally true, devastating, but true. i recommend it. i really like how it represents the difficulty of knowing one's own motivations, even while terribly regretting one's actions.
