The Hours and Sylvia are two of my favorite movies of late, yet I'm not a depressed, suicidal woman myself!! Wonder what intrigues me about these two?Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1158579560649839642006-09-18T04:39:00.000-07:002006-09-18T04:39:00.000-07:00I saw "Sylvia" too and couldn't get the poet off m...I saw "Sylvia" too and couldn't get the poet off my mind for weeks after that. How sad to have been so tormented. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your review, you have tempted me to go look for a library copy of "The Bell Jar".Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1158182405538894212006-09-13T14:20:00.000-07:002006-09-13T14:20:00.000-07:00Nancy - It really is very readable.

I need to add it to my queue at Netflix.<BR/><BR/>Bybee - Thanks for the confirmation about the '79 version of The Bell Jar. I think I'll hold out for the remake.<BR/><BR/>Heather & Nancy - I love reading in the tub, too, but alas, this old house of ours doesn't have a decent tub so I've had to forgo such pleasure for over 6 years now! In one of our other homes, I used to take a bath EVERY night. It was one way to warm up (I wasn't used to the Nebraska winters yet) and a great place to unwind with a book. Oh, and btw, Heather, The Bell Jar is a quick read. I'm sure you can squeeze it in sometime between your RIP challenge and House. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1158159051907240612006-09-13T07:50:00.000-07:002006-09-13T07:50:00.000-07:00I keep meaning to read this one.
