2016 Reading: The Bell Jar

#33 A classic from the 20th century


I actually had no idea what to think of this book because even though the title is familiar to me (being the symbol for all feminist literature and all that) I never actually knew what the book was ABOUT.

Having read it, I am not surprised, but I found it interesting non-the-less. It seems there are no explanations for the feelings and the mental changes in the main character and at times, they seem to be almost forced. I know that they are not, but that just goes to show that the author knew what she was talking about.

Hilarious.
