Writing Sylvia Plath, and Sarah Waters?

[Failed_Attempts]

I was wondering if anyone has heard of Sylvia Plath, and/or Sarah Waters?

Sylvia Plath is a poet, that writes rather morbid poems, yet, they're refreshing and a great literary read. She wrote one book [i]The Bell Jar[/i]. She is very good at condensing her words, and making them ALL worth reading,and all of the words contribute to the poem. Unfortunately, she commited suicide at about around 30? I believe.

Sarah Waters is a rather "new" writer, she's written 3 books. "Tipping the Velvet" (Great book, but I don't recommend if anyone is squimish about Sexual acts that kind of go into detail, yet not much, and if you're not interested in hearing about Lesbian lovers) "Affinity" (I'm in the process of reading this one, not very far though @_@) and "Fingersmith" (all I can tell you, is it's about a women theif) All in all, Sarah Waters is a great british author that writes about Victorian England wonderfully.

I suggest if you haven't heard any of these authors, then you should try to check them out. If you appreiciate good literary finds, then you will love these ^_^; If you have heard of them... what do you think of them?

I read the Bell Jar and i liked it to an extent. I just hated the ending but at the same time loved it. I mean i would have preffered a more in depth ending, but if you think about it. It couldn't have ended any other way. The book was pointless, the story was pointless and so was the ending. Thats the whole point. A kind of paradox. It totally made me think from here point of view. When you read it you realize her becomg insane was both inevitable and necessary.
She died around 30? That sounds right. She stuck her head in an oven and breathed the fumes while her kid played inthe living room. Her poetry was alarming near her end. You should check out Tulips. I think thats the name.

[size=1][font=century gothic][color=gray] I will certainly have to check these authors out, then. Especially considering that school's now out. I'm not going to be too busy, other then once I get a job.

Sylvia Plath especially I'd like to read. Morbid poetry is just my thing.[/size][/font][/color]
