Hi, all.
Madness: A Bipolar Life by Marya Hornbacher is on step one, for someone's
validating pleasure. It's a very clean scan. 99.7 was its rank spelling.
Headers have been stripped. Page breaks and chapter headings have been
protected. Lots of proper nouns (medication names and the like), but this
really should be an easy validation for someone.

Here's the synopsis:
When Marya Hornbacher published her first book, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia
and Bulimia, she did not yet know the reason for her all-but-shattered young
life. At age twenty-four, Hornbacher was diagnosed with Type 1 rapid-cycle
bipolar, the most severe form of bipolar disease there is.
In Madness, in her trademark wry and utterly self-revealing voice, Hornbacher
tells her new story. Through scenes of astonishing visceral and emotional
power, she takes us inside her own desperate attempts to control violently
careening mood swings by self-starvation, substance abuse, numbing sex, and
self-mutilation. How Hornbacher fights her way up from a madness that all but
destroys her, and what it is like to live in a difficult and sometimes beautiful
life and marriage-where bipolar always beckons-is at the heart of this brave
and heart-stopping memoir.
