I love all of those...the first book I read, when I was about 12, was a Zane Gray western called The Border Legion. My dad liked him. So I read all of his books. Years later when I re-read some of them I realized that my dad was a hopeless romantic. I loved that realization. The Bard is pretty awesome also.
I don't really read novels or poetry. But Sylvia Plath was a genius in my opinion, and I hate Ted Hughes for the disgusting way he treated her.

The Bell Jar was such an eye opener. I lived through that period. I remember being at business school in the late fifties..I was learning how to be a secretary even though I wanted to go to college. I met a young woman in that school who had a BA and couldn’t get a job because she couldn’t type. That says it all!
That's depressing.
@IAmLove It is quite a book. Of course, it's especially depressing when you know how Plath herself turned out. I have been treated for depression, and I'm pretty healthy now. Hopefully it's a bit better for women these days. Hopefully! That's with the Me Too stories and all.
Huxley, Doyle, Vonnegut, Harlan Ellison, Frank Hubert, John Grisham, Michael Connelly, Elizabeth George.
