Best Book You Have Read?

so after months of contriving at bumping into Hughes and hanging on every rumour of his doings
while writing impassioned letters to Sassoon
she has been planning a little layover in paris to lurk in Sassoon’s neighbourhood and stalk him when she picks up his trail so that she can cause a toxic scene if he is with another woman now

her first day in paris, on her way to stake out his house, she gets distracted by some French communist who starts following her and she ‘goes back to his hotel room’ to ‘borrow a map’ and then lets him buy her drinks and food all day
so the first day is a wash
next day she finds out that Sassoon is out of the country
so she goes back to her hotel to write some more letters to him and feel sorry for herself because this is the first time that anyone has dumped her
she doesn’t seem to care for being on this end of it

^^ Is this still about Sylvia Plath?

Can you get right to the part where she kills herself?

there are still 10 weeks left before she marries Hughes for her to try to ruin Sassoon’s life because he doesn’t believe her lies

she’s gone from using expressions like ‘Hebrew Hercules’ when she writes about him to ‘yellowed Spaniard of indeterminate race’

I guess not.

Hebrew Hercules… The thought of that made me chuckle.

sylvia spends the day with yet another guy and gets naked in a hotel room but he has too much time to think and she writes he chickened because she is too ‘complicated’

then she writes a memo to herself with bullet points

she has to confuse people because the worthwhile men are hearing too many unpleasant stories about her

when she gets back to england, she must act ‘bewildered’ (brazen through innuendo)
so that people can’t confirm what they have heard

she tells herself to stop doing these two guys she is not interested in because it is hurting her chances with dudes she is interested in

she lists all the guys she has embarrassed herself with

she reminds herself to act more sympathetic to other people and appear to be more devoted to her writing

her image isn’t doing well and good guys are weighing it and deciding she isn’t nearly gorgeous nor interesting enough to ignore how loopy she is

she is considering sending a written proposition to Ted Hughes the day she gets back to England but decides she will wait two days

she is tired of ‘dark sleazy men’ so she is only sleeping with one of them while she waits for Sassoon to come home so she can fuck his shit up

and now the guy she is going on a vacation in Italy with has shown up and she is disgusted with him and he can barely speak any French and she enjoys it when the waiter ridicules him

I’m pretty sure no one is reading your horribly mangled, uncapitalized mess of a biography of Sylvia Plath that is slowly being posted on a bodybuildibng forum.

after writing some stuff that sounds like a dissociative disorder in the making
there is a big break
then she is married to Hughes and living in Spain
“Living with him is like being told a perpetual story: his mind is the biggest, most imaginative, I have ever met.”
she feels inspired to write a bullfighter story

a week later, her writing is completely changed
she is on the dark side of the moon
but something is terribly wrong
everything is different now

Yeah, but they have no spoiler thingy, which would be awesome for movie, tv and book threads.

Anything by Jeff Shaara, S Thomas Russell, or C S Forester. By far some of my favorites. Each of them has several books.
