Enjoyed "Silver Linings Playbook" - a very quick read (pun unintended). Both main characters suffer from psychological issues and are being treated. It's nice to have a story about mental illness that doesn't involve murders or deranged individuals. Quick does a good job of illustrating issues in mental health and treatment - the main male character trying to skip medication as he doesn't feel he needs it, lingering fantasies and haunting memories.
The movie based on the book covers much of the same ground, but the book does a better job of showing the "inside workings". I'd like to watch the movie again, having now read the book.
