I'm Currently Reading...

The Sky is Falling by Raeanne Dumont
"Case studies of sufferers are presented, including a woman who experiences panic attacks in public places; a man terrified of driving over bridges; and a teenage boy who stops eating for fear of being poisoned. The last section gives pragmatic advice for recognizing fallacious thinking and setting both short-term and long-range goals to relieve these debilitating reactions. This book should also be quite helpful for those trying to aid someone with these problems."

The Catastrophist (by Roanan Bennett) is set in the Congo during its bid for independence from Belgium (circa 1960).
