David says:
I just started reading _The Bell Jar_, by Sylvia Plath 


I know this isn't a Plath discussion list (although if anybody knows of one similar
to this PLEASE let me know), but I have to take this opportunity to recommend that
any readers of the Bell Jar read Plath's poetry books (especially "Ariel" and "The
Colossus") as a companion.  There are many connections between the prose and the
poetry, and they shed a lot of light on each other.

Also, if you're REALLY interested in Sylvia (the Diana of literature to Salinger's
Adonis), I suggest picking up a copy of "Letters Home", a book of her letters that
brings to the surface a lot that's left out in the Bell Jar.

Sorry for the cross-author digression, folks.
Brendan
