Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So by Mark Vonnegut

emotional hopeful informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.25

I think Mark did inherit some of his writing style from his father Kurt, being witty and finding interesting ways to talk about sometimes very dark things. It makes this memoir for me a good read. A mostly literal narrative about his life and struggle with mental illness, every now and then some very profound ideas and passages came out that made me pause and reflect.
It's not particularly challenging, long, or painful to read, so I blew through it in a few days, enjoying 90% of it thoroughly.
Would recommend.
I put Eden Express on my list, will definitely read more of him.
