Welcome to the challenge, Daisy! Happy travels!
Thank you, and thanks for making available such a fun reading group.
I don't like Plath. I do, however, like Walls and her book The Glass Castle. So glad it's going to come out in a movie.
Plath was challenging due to its intensity but the book has some excellent messages.The Glass Castle should make an excellent movie.
Of this list I think my favorite is A Lesson Before Dying. Amazing read, but I outwardly sobbed at the end.
