I was chatting to our very own Purdyamos last night, about her up and coming hospital treatment and the reading material she's been offered to read during the weeks afterward when she will be mostly in bed.
After jokingly offering to hobble her if she tried to get out of bed too soon, I decided that Misery would be a great book for her to read while I was bringing her soup and coffee to aid her recovery.
Can anyone think of any other really unsuitable books to really unsettle the bed bound?

"Coma" by Robin Cook, where people in a hospital have "accidents" and end-up brain-dead so the hospital can keep them alive and harvest their organs for sale on the black market.

I had read "Coma" right before I had unexpected surgery. The OR looked just as Robin Cook had described it and I must admit to getting a bit freaked out thinking about it. I would pass on that one.

Did they make a film of that book in the 80's??
I think I may have watched it as a kid and had nightmares for years....

If she's going to be reading them straight after major abdominal surgery then I would have to say:
Anything that's going to make her laugh too much!

if the patient is having an operation that involves stitches, why not take her "501 cross stitch designs"
