I love The Bell Jar, I reread it every few years, but have not read Ariel. Did you have a favorite between the 2? Should I add Ariel to my very long to read list? Is it worth bumping it up to a higher number on my to read list rather than the bottom? Thanks for any input.
Hello Pat.I would say that it depends on which variety of literature you prefer to read as both tend to deal with existential paranoia. Myself? I preferred her plethora of poetry.
Oh, I LOVED Master and Margarita! What did you think of it?
