    <body><![CDATA[In my college years, people talked about Sylvia Plath in nearly iconic terms, and I can't even count how many people told me I just HAD to read her, many of whom said I was very similar to her. One guy even spelled out why: intelligent and emotionally unstable. And as the book is the story of her ne...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69589462">more...</a>]]></body>
