Bookfest - Kim Noble

[changeling67]

Some women buy shoes and scent or clothes and holidays - I have forked out for even MORE books (I have just had a Dickens spending spree). I have bought a biography on C.S Lewis by the same publisher that did the Roald Dahl one that I liked.  I have got the story of Kim Noble, the artist who has a split personality and these personalities produce very different, very individual pieces of work. I came across this story whilst doing the Psychology modules at Access last academic year. Will write up about the book when it has been read (add to the other 10 or so 'must read' titles in my bookshelf).

Below is an interview with Kim and also a link to her website.  Terribly sad, many awful things happened to her, in many regards but also an amazing story of how art overcomes the mind.

Plus, I have been able to bag a snazzy academic diary and a batch of henna from LUSH. Feel pampered :-D

Sounds fascinating - I just ordered the book - looking forward to reading it.

Thanks for the video clip. Powerful harrowing and yet positive in the end.

Isn't that almost too much? Its sometimes hard enough to live with all the people we are inside ourselves, but to have multiple 'ourselves' occupying us. And to the exclusion of any other 'us'. Good lord.

Like you, I'm a bookaholic! I've run out of shelves AGAIN!!! just put one up for forty books i've bought, and now... there's the coffee table with two foot high piles! HELLLLLP!!! but come the winter months... AAAAhhhh I shall turn on the cds and read. I just hope my new specs will help my eyes hold out.
