I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I’m glad, anon. :)I’ve never read it because I’m not very fond of women. A shame, isn’t it?!

It's a good fiction non-fiction. There are some good passages, like the skiing part and the rotten fruit. The ending is kinda meh tho. Also, it only shows that all women are whores, specially the smart ones. Plus you're gay
>>25247864>>>/lgbt/
>>25247862Liked it well enough up until she decides to fuck some random dickhead for no reason. Made me realise there is no solidarity possible between mentally ill men and women. It does however work as a kinda gothic novel about becoming a Modern Woman, just like how Giovanni is one about becoming a rabid homosexual.
>>25247862Plath is kino. I've been saying this. Read Ariel next
>>25247862its good but unironically all of her other writing is better, her poetry obviously but the unabridged journals, particularly her years in college, are just a rawer and more interesting version of the bell jar
>>25247970Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams isn't better, it's a little worse than The Bell Jar>the unabridged journals... rawer and more interesting version of the bell jarAgree with this. Incredible that someone could write that well off the cuff like that. Depressing and morbid as you would expect but damn that woman could fucking write.
>>25247862So did I, it was very enjoyable even though I'm a manlet. (The author hates manlets.)
I have never read a book written by a woman.
Haven't read Bell Jar but I read a few of her poems a couple of weeks ago - kino.
>>25247864Fpbp, it is a shame we are inflicted with them>>25247870it's amazing how fragile frontholes are
>>25247864>>25249110>>25247891to my fellow woman haters, i actually encourage reading and finishing this book. it is a rare instance of a woman being honest and consistently telling the truth about what she thinks and feels. women resonate with this book because they all think and feel this way.
>>25249173I… do suppose I’ll have to begrudgingly give it a try. Anyway, I always make an exception for /ourgirl/ so I’m sure I can make another
>>25249187there's a hilarious part where the narrator's menty b is beginning to accelerate: she gets filtered by finnegans wake and in the very next scene is in the psychiatrist's office.
>>25249187>not a single ounce of muscle anywhere on his body Grim
>>25249244Post body. You wont. Curious.
>>25249249
>>25249251Uhhhhhhh large poppppp corn.... and a coke
>>25247862tits or GTFO
>>25249251>not anon's body
She's literally me
I dropped out of AP Lit because the summer reading list was The Bell Jar, The Color Purple, TKAMB, and 4 other gay books
>>25249396Have standards dropped for younger generations or you going to a community college? The bell jar is more like required high school reading. Or was.
>>25249412It was senior year in HS and no for regular Uni, it was almost 20y ago.We didnt read Gatsby, Dorian Gray, Huckfinn, and a few others my wife claimed were req HS reading.
>>25249187Always wanted to meet that guy. Apparently he's a poetry professor somewhere in Pennsylvania. If you like Dickinson you'll like Plath, but I'd start with her last book Ariel. The Colossus is good but Ariel blows it out of the water
>>25249445fucking ridiculous
>>25249445what in the goddamn...?
>>25247862>"I'm a genius, but math is too hard and yucky, I'll do fashion instead"It reads like a 4chan caricature of women but it's real lol
>>25249929This lil nigga thinks he's smarter than darwin just cuz he into maths someone taught him
>>25249929>I'm a genius, but math is too hard and yucky, I'll focus on literature insteadShe'd fit right in on /lit/
>>25249929women are caricatures of man's image of womannow you know
