I'm worried I won't like it or it will seem simple or the writing will be bad. I think so much of our love for a particular book comes from the impact it has on us at a specific point in time. Our reading of it is affected by everything we're going through and have gone through up to that point. It's fascinating to me that one book can be read so very differently by dozens of people.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-56123573247454897752010-05-11T00:26:46.247-04:002010-05-11T00:26:46.247-04:00"The Bell Jar" is one of my favourite bo..."The Bell Jar" is one of my favourite books ever and I too read it as a teen.

Interesting.<br /><br />And I think I read "The Bell Jar" at way too young an age to understand it at any level.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.com
