*BOOKS*
I know that there are so many books out there on anorexia, mostly about recovery. But I love reading autobiographys of people who have had anorexia. You learn
so much, and you'll see how much you have in common with them. Here's a list of books that I know of-
Stick Figure: By Lori Gottieb ~ This was really good, the only thing was it's by an 11-year-old. Well she was that age when it happened. So it's better for younger
anas. It's got some funny bits too.
To die for: By Carol Lee ~ Another good book, except it's written by the godmother of the anorexic girl. It does have some of the girls words and that in it though,
and it's good to see it from an outsides point of view.
Second star to the right: By Deborah Haukig ~ An excellant book; one of my favourites.
Eli's Wings: By Elizabeth Best ~ This is the one I'm reading right now, it's quite good. This girl had pretty bad depression and the other things that come with ana.
California Diaries #8, Maggie: By Ann M. Martin ~ This one isn't actually real, it's part of a teenage series but it's still quite interesting.
Bronte's Story: By Bronte Cullis ~ This is actually a quite famous story, and very good also, though a main bit of it is foccased on her recovery. You can visit the
Bronte Foundation Website by clicking here: http://www.thebrontefoundation.com
A Journey Shared: By Jan Cullis ~ This is the book written by Bronte's mum.
Here's a few more I havn't actually read yet, but have heard of-
Wasted: By Marya Hornbacher
Diary of an anorexic girl: By Morgan Menzie
The Passion of Alice: By Stephani Grant
Here's a list of songs that have to do with ED's
Ana's song- Silverchair
Fiona Apple - Paper bag
Lucy at the Gym- Jill Sobule
Anorexic beauty- Pulp
4 stones 7 pounds- Manic Street Preachers
Tunic- Sonic Youth
Beautiful- Christina Aguilera
Bleed like me- Garbage
Casting such a Thin Shadow
