Still Me


This inspirational book Still Me by Christopher Reeve is what I needed at this stage of my life. See also Christopher Reeve Home Page. Christopher talks honestly and without self pity about the devastating horse-riding accident that left him a quadriplegic. He tells of his life both before and after that terrible day and discusses his emotions. Since my own spinal cord injury I had wondered about how Christopher Reeve could have dealt with his injury so was pleased to find his book second-hand. It is compulsory reading for anyone in a similar situation. He was a powerful advocate for the disabled until his death. He tried so hard to help the disabled through his speaking engagements and lobbying, but there is still so much more to be achieved. 41/2/5
