Ordinary people blog 2

I am reading Ordinary People by Judith Guest. I am about halfway to 3/4 the way through the book and I am starting to kind of like this book even tho it isnt my usual kind of reading. So what has gone on is that Conrad has left the swim team once again because it reminds him too much of his dead brother Buck who died in a sailing accident. Conrad has attempted to commit suicide by cutting his wrists with razors because he thinks that the death of his brother is his fault and that he should take his brothers place where he should be dead and his brother should be alive. He is in a phsyciatric hospital and after being in there for 8 months he was released to the open world once again."A good thing you do not have to know who you are, Jarrett, in order to perform, because today there is a minimum of information available on that subject."
