Might you recommend any of those 3?

High five to you for being such a hardcore reader dude!

Bell Jar'll rock. I picked it up at a book store and read like 10 pages, fell in love with it, and was a lame ass and never finished it. I do that WAY too often.

Thanks! I do that too though... there's some four books on my shelf I only got a fraction of the way through and never finished hahah.

Crime and Punishment is good but I definitely have to read it in intervals... Raskolnikov has a clouded, self-absorbed kind of judgment about himself and his morals that is just a bit too delusional for me sometimes. I just only started Anti-Christ. Figured I needed a little bit of nihilism in there somewhere.

Meaning of Death is awesome!! number one recommend! A fortune teller gave it to me. It's all about the human relationship with death and the dying, sociology of death, etc. soo interesting and illuminating.

And yeah, I totally loved Bell Jar. :)

You reading anything currently?

Is that the same book you read? [I'd imagine there might be a few books with that same title.]

I'm reading The Bradbury Chronicles - which is just a Ray Bradbury biography, but it's REALLY fun to read. I've only read one of his books, Fahrenheit 451, and hardly remember it . . . but he's just such an interesting cat. But I want to start The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury in the next day or so to properly get myself in a Halloween mood. <3

Yes that's the book!

What's the Halloween Tree? I've never heard of it!

If you have any suggestions for a good read, I'd love to hear it. I'm about to finish a book on Schizophrenia and need something new. :)
