My brain-slog-slog-slog-slogging through psychology. Abnormal, that is. So, I read this because it interests me. Also, I frequently comment on the topic, so I want to have some idea what I'm talking about. This is probably a freshman, or sophomore level college text on abnormal psychology. Buck seventy-five at Goodwill. I will classify it as very interesting; also, definitely, work to read. Seven-six-eleven-five-nine-an' twenty pages a day. Read-read-read-read-turning page over page again. Crazy, man.
