Anne Coulter *deep shudder* Talk about your bad influances... ;)

There is a connection between creativity/intelligence and mental illness. There's a book by Kay Redfield Jamison called Touched With Fire that examines the link between creativity and mental disorders such as depression and bipolar. Try googling the book, the link I found was too long...

I have the same sort of problem. I feel obligated to read classics and "expand my mind", which takes longer than reading lighter books, so it puts me behind. I should gorge myself on Stephen King novels all summer because once I start college I'll be doing plenty of reading to "expand my mind"...
