Paris 2009
So...The Bell Jar. Should I read it? I've known its appeal to me for years. But, I always figure it will be too truthful and depressing for me. Don't get me wrong. I love drama. I love depressed characters, but I think it's good for my mental health to see healing, overcoming, etc.
I believe in censorship. Seriously I do. I don't believe in anyone BEING censored, but I think just because we all have the ability to see whatever we want, we shouldn't. I don't think we should have laws banning pornography, but I think it is poison in a million ways, and we should all stop watching it.
My sister found that she enjoyed Nick Hornby books immensely, but they left her feeling like settling is a good life choice. So, she has stopped reading him. On principle. I keep trying to stop seeing crappy romance flicks where the girl loses her identity on principle, but sometimes the urge is too strong.
Sylvia Plath is a whole new issue. I know it is great literature...I SHOULD get familiar. I KNOW I am interested...but what is good for me? Hmm?
