Could we read another book by Kay Redfield Jamison (please! ), read The Bell Jar first (of these books) and then the KRJ book and the Madness one?

If you'd really prefer An Unquiet Mind to Touched With Fire or Exuberance, that's perfectly fine, but I'd rather not read it again and I haven't read the other two. Of course you can read and discuss that one without me: no problem. Or maybe only the Madness one (and The Bell Jar, obviously). And (maybe) after that another poll with all other suggestions.
