Ah, madness. It’s so unappreciated, you know?

Well, I haven’t read this, but I do know of Plath’s “life” story. My advice would be to find a light! heartwarming! Mayberry-style! novel to read, and to, uh, steer clear of gas ovens (!)

Where is your tolerance for people who bash the book?

I loved it too though, and am intolerant to bashers.

I hope you’re prepared for the reaction to declaring this as your favorite book of all time…I’ve never even read it (I’ve only read Elizabeth Wurtzel’s obsessive love of it in Prozac Nation) and your post makes me want to hug you and make sure you’re in a well lit room with lots of soft surfaces…

Seriously, though - if you say it’s fabulous, I will read it.

When I was 16 I asked for this for Christmas and my mum said no, and when I asked why she said “It’ll make you kill yourself.” Seriously! Maybe I should show her this so when I read it she won’t ship me off somewhere white and padded. Either way I find your review very helpful (as usual)!
