The Diving Bell and Butterfly
The YO friends are a group of people living somewhere in East Yorkshire, UK, who are all passionate about reading. They meet roughly every six weeks to discuss their thoughts on a predetermined work of literature, and in turn, each member of the group selects a book.
The current book for discussion is ‘The Diving Bell and Butterfly’ by Jean-Dominique Bauby
If you have read this book then please leave your comments for the YO friends, who would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you.

I loved “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”, but the movie I’d rather see is “My Stroke of Insight”, which is the amazing bestselling book by Dr Jill Bolte Taylor. It is an incredible story and there’s a happy ending. She was a 37 year old Harvard brain scientist who had a stroke in the left half of her brain. The story is about how she fully recovered, what she learned and experienced, and it teaches a lot about how to live a better life. Her TEDTalk at TED dot com is fantastic too. It’s been spread online millions of times and you’ll see why!
