prozac nation vs. more,now again

Which do you like better? I loved Prozac Nation..I've been trying to read (and re-read) More, Now, Again for years but for some reason I can't get through it. I mean, it's an interesting read but I have yet to finish it. I'm determined to finish it b/c ppl keep telling me it's awesome..

More, Now, Again I actually liked more than Prozac Nation. Prozac Nation was good and all, but I don't know there was something about More, Now, Again.

I loved Prozac Nation! couldn't put it down. I've been wanting to read more of Elizabeth Wurtzel's books, I think I'll go with More, Now, Again.

Prozac Nation. They're both good though, I think it depends on the order in which you read them, at least for me. I nearly always like the one I read first better.

I've not read MNA... I liked Prozac Nation, although Wurtzel annoyed the shit out of me. However, I could identify with a lot of her episodes, so I enjoyed the book. Aren't her other ones about how she squandered her happiness with drugs or something?

Like "Ok guys, at the end of Prozac Nation I was happy and only on a couple of good prescription drugs and Full Of Promise again. And Jewish. Don't forget I'm Jewish. As a Jew, the number 6 million (people on Prozac in 1994) has special significance for me. I believe Bruce Springsteen said it first. But I wasn't really. Actually I was taking lots of cocaine and crystal meth. But I'm off bad dugs and living a good life now. Peace out."

"Ok, so in my last book, I told you I was off drugs again. I actually wasn't. Here's what I was doing. But now I'm clean. And full of promise. And jewish. And an elitist music fan."

More, Now and Again is much better, and much easier to read to. Prozac Nation is great but too dreary and depressing. But I tell you the film prozac nation was so bad and didn't do the book any justice at all.

I'm currently reading prozac nation and LOVE it.
Some parts of the book are a biy whiney, and I kind of wish she just left the italic paragraphs out. I feel like that's more of a problem with the editing rather than the book itself though.

This reminds me, I need to put More, Now Again on my reading list. I read Prozac Nation when it came out and I was in a depression, but I did not relate to it much except for her feelings about her dad and some other parts..I was never put on Mellaril and all that stuff so I don't relate to the meds, but I know I didn't know what was wrong with me and I would go a whole week without eating or getting up out of bed except to use the bathroom and it felt like such a chore to shower, then I would go back to bed and just sleep 18 hours or stare at the walls.

I have Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women but have never been able to read it straight through, what a mess. Is More, Now as frantic/scattered??

Great, I'll have to put it on my reading list. I think Wurtzel is talented and I was SO disappointed in Bitch. I think the cover photo helped it sell, LOL. It was a GREAT idea of a book but it just didn't come together at all. It could have been brilliant but instead it was pretty bad.

I couldnt finish Prozac Nation, despite only having like 50 pages to go

I was just like "ENOUGH!"

I thought she repeated herself endlessly, it was mindnumbing.

I liked the movie though.
