I've read all of the Pelzer books (and I didn't cry - no stereotyping me thank you!)

and also this book called "My Language is Me", a non-fiction written by the therapist of this teenager with schizophrenia recording six years of his treatment.

Sorry... didnt mean to stereotype...
You say you are reading "my language is me", i don't understand, are you saying this is Dave's therapist? And is "a man named dave" good reading?

no, "my language is me" is not about dave pelzer at all, it's completely unrelated to anything to do with him, it's a just a book i was reading so i mentioned it.

a man called dave was ok. not as powerful as "a child called it", or even "a boy called dave" (i think the first in the series was the best i think, the last ones were just him dealing with stuff.)

Ok I am insane to be reading this [according to my friends who are doing Emma/Clueless ] but i took a peek at my friend's copy of Emma (which she was grudgingy reading) and found that I was interested so I borrowed a copy and am now starting to read it slowly. I technically dont have the time but when im taking a break from my "strenuous" study , I read that...the way I see it, Ill finish it when im about 20
