Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath-- I know next to nothing about her. But one day soon, that will change. I recently became interested in her works, and am committed to reading them, at least finding out if I like them or not.

I tend to stick with the authors I love and know best because they are "safe" and I know I will like them. In my case that would be Jane Austen, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Charlotte Bronte, Thomas Hardy, and Henry James, for starters. Branching out can be a good thing though, so I'll be heading to the library, checking ebay, and Amazon, for deals on her books.
