The most interesting thing I've read lately is Do You Love Me? by R. D. Laing. Laing was a psychiatrist who wrote extensively about schizophrenia and other disorders, but this book is definitely a unique take on his area of expertise: it's a collection of poetry he wrote depicting mental health issues. Delusions, obsessions, senility, dementia, schizophrenia, "treatment," and more are depicted in verse form that's both engaging and instructive, sometimes amusing, and occasionally distressing. If you have an interest in either the subject material, or just want to read some 'crazy good' wordplay, I highly recommend seeking this book out.
