Just a stupid, random question, sorry. I just finished reading it for the seventh time, but I think it's really good... What do you think???

Not yet, I'm waiting for a Complete Works Of Sylvia Plath or something similiar to be released. I have Poe's and Wilde's complete works, though. Great stuff.

I'd love to own Wilde's... I own Yeats' and most of Virginia Woolf's... I really like their journals (Plath's & Woolf's)... Very interesting reading... If you've got nothing else to do...

Woolf. I went on a wild collecting spree this year. I went out and bought The Hours (movie and book), Mrs. Dalloway, anything I could find. You can't talk about Yeats without Keats.

Woolf's journals are just as good - if not better - than her boks... I really liek her writings, it's very... What's the word?... Jeez, what IS that word?... Hm, it's lost... It'll pop into my mind within an hour or two...

I'll be honest with you: I have never read anything by Keats... I know, I know, it's a crime, but it's true... I've never read a single word of Keats...

Pick up something, anything you can find. His works remind me of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Really boring shit in the beginning, but later on it picks up and is worth your time.
