Day Six: Recommend some books to read
The Bell Jar
Everyone who knows me knows that I am in love with this book. I adore Sylvia Plath as a writer. Something about that book just hit me in a way that no other fictional book ever has and ever will. I think it was the reality of it. I can’t quite place it, but if you haven’t read this yet, please do yourself a favor and find a copy.
Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography
I always insist that even if you’re not a Freddie Mercury or Queen fan, you’ll enjoy this book. I’m probably wrong because I’m so partial to Queen, but I sincerely do believe it’s just one of those books that is so well written, and so interesting that it can draw anyone in. Lesley Ann Jones is another favorite author of mine. She’s written mainly biographies, which are my favorite, and she’s worked as an avid journalist for years. With her, a biography is not a telling—it’s a showing. a creation. Well worth the read. My copy looks like it’s been through a war from all the re-reads.
After Diana
Another biography type book. It really held my attention. In fact, after this, I went out and bought a plethora of Princess Di bios. There’s another that of course I’m forgetting the title of, but most I’ve read or own are pretty good.
All That Matters
A novel about suicide and a troubled girl’s bonding with her sick grandmother. I picked up this book by chance. Never heard about it, never considered it. Just read. and I really did enjoy it.
Tuesdays With Morrie
I think this is one of those classics that everyone knows about and reads. I wasn’t overly thrilled with it. It didn’t move me to tears like it has everyone else. Not because I’m a cold person, but just because it takes a lot to make me cry. However, it did make me sad and I loved the book itself. Something about the tale of wisdom through an older, wiser person with insight to life will always hold appeal.
On Writing
A Stephen King novel that won’t scare the shit out of you. Not only is it an informational guide on writing, but it’s a lovely account of King’s life in his own words. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll love.
Sylvia Plath: The Unabridged Journals
I started this list with Sylvia and I’m ending it with her. Unintentionally. I got this book for Christmas, but I had read excerpts previously. It’s just incredible. I don’t really know how else to put it. If you really want an indepth look at Plath, this is the book. Even if you don’t.
