The funniest case of brain-freeze I've ever heard about
The funniest case of brain-freeze I've ever heard about. IT IS A weird thing to say out loud, but I laughed heartily when I recently read a book about a man's incredibly dangerous brain infection that rendered him totally paralysed. You may think me heartless, but it is one of the funniest books I've ever read. It is called I Think There's Something Wrong With Me. It is described as a comedy trauma and is written by Nigel Smith. This amazing real-life account of his hospital stay and slow progress after his brain shut down was totally hysterical. I read the whole book in one sitting and the man is now one of my favourite writers.
