Recs if you like Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness...

A huge list of nonfiction books encompassing Disabled, Deaf, Neurodivergent, Ill bodyminds.

Similar lists of mine to check out: Disabled, Deaf, Neurodivergent, Ill Poetry AND Disability Sexuality

Let’s say this is me collecting spoons, aka: a list of memoirs by fellow chronically ill spoonies. May the selection give you empathy or make you feel seen ❤️

these are books you might find on Doctor House’s bookshelf or that have a main character like our own favorite misanthrope Dr. Gregory House 🩺 list features fiction and nonfiction, including a book written by the man of the hour, Hugh Laurie

also, how am I supposed to take House seriously when his first name is Greg 😭

as always, please drop any suggestions in the comments!!

books written by disabled authors

Non-fiction books about health and how our body works, from anatomy to mental health, from healing to studying medicine. 😷 [Note: Some of these books might be controversial or resonate with some more than with others. Pick and choose what works for YOU. :)] Recommendations welcome

a list of non fiction books about a wide variety of topics that are actually a great reading experience, even if sometimes tough to read because of the subject it covers (in other words, you may get angry, you may be in awe, but you'll definitely learn something)

Often called rare diseases, but these would be more accurately classified under the disability umbrella

Not meant as a way to fetishise or sensationalise the experiences of real people, more to create understanding from a social and biological perspective

Books about characters going mad, but are they really, or are other things at play

If you have any recommendations to add to the list, I would love to hear them!
