Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide by Kay Redfield Jamison
It was a phenomenal book...but much like "Requiem for a Dream"...it will kil your day / week.
I still hate Joe for suggesting I take this on a greyhound bus-trip for some, in his words "light reading". Asshole.
There is a chapter in this book which contains actual suicide notes from people from various time periods and walks of life, some sad, some angry, some strangely happy, all intent on ending their own lives. It's the most disturbing chapter of any book I have ever read.
