The Silent Twins (June and Jennifer Gibbons) by Marjorie Wallace

It's a true story of love and hate, dreams and desolation, genius and destruction.

This is the astonishing tale of June and Jennifer Gibbons, identical twins whose silent, antisocial exterior hid a rich, vast, creative life. From early childhood through their twenties, they spoke only to each other in a secret language, building an elaborate fantasy life. Then, from their self-imposed isolation, they were catapulted into the hormonal havoc of adolescence, plunging into a wild spree that led to their incarceration in a hospital for the criminally insane. A profoundly powerful and moving story.

Really anything by PKD:

1) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
2) Exegesis
3) Scanner Darkly

That is so true, Dee...so true; come to think of it, next to the word mindscrew isn't a picture of Exegesis but a picture of PKD himself.
