Hi Shannon!
Please, may I proofread this! No need to do any clean-up on it, if you
don't want to. And, since I know you don't like removing headers, please
leave them in. It will help me to insert chapter headings if they don't
scan, as often they don't well.
Very hopeful that I can please do this one for you!
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Something I've been meaning to scan
Hi, all.
I've been meaning to scan this for some time now, as it is one of the best
books I've ever read. I'm wondering if someone wants to proof it. This is
Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia by Marya Hornbacher. The synopsis
is below:
Why would a talented young girl go through the looking glass and step into a
netherworld where up is down and food is greed, where death is honor and
flesh is weak? Why enter into a love affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and
death? Marya Hornbacher sustains both anorexia and bulimia through five
lengthy hospitalizations, endless therapy, and the loss of family, friends,
jobs, and ultimately, any sense of what it means to be "normal." By the time
she is in college, Hornbacher is in the grip of a bout with anorexia so
horrifying that it will forever put to rest the romance of wasting away. In
this vivid, emotionally wrenching memoir, she re-created the experience and
illuminated that tangle of personal, family, and cultural causes underlying
eating disorders. Wasted is the story of one woman's travels to the darker
side of reality, and her decision to find her way back--on her own terms.
This has some very disturbing content, as it describes, in vivid detail, the
process of self-starvation. If you're interested in proofreading this,
contact me at:
solsticesinger@xxxxxxxxx
and I'll hold it for you.
