The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Has anybody here read this amazing, timeless, beautiful book?

I bought it a few days ago randomly after reading some of Plath's poems online and enjoying them. This book is proof of the kind of emotional impact and power words can have; it is at times haunting, depressing, and overwhelming, but it is stunningly human above all else, and I can't recommend it enough. Go check it out if you haven't.

but that makes it sound like a chore! D:

I read it last autumn. it's a pretty damn good book. it's a shame that Plath died a month after it was published.

 

[Tarvos]

I wouldn't know. I haven't read it. It's all I know.
