Silvia Plath is cool in a crazy way...

and I have not read Faulker (yet! yet!), but I hear his stuff is really good and enjoyable.

I'm a Plath fan, myself. I did a paper on her last semester and it was lovely.

I like Steinbeck myself. I had to read Grapes of Wrath over the summer and was very enjoyable

e.e. cummings was a unitarian-universalist.

(i.e. weird)


and when i did a report on Sandra Cisnero (she wrote The House on Mango Street" and it was really good) there was tons of stuff on her and she had a nice webpage.
and she isn't even dead yet!

e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, and Slyvia Plath are good. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT do William Faulkner. He writes abysmal books.

He might write weird stuff, but his life is fascinating.

Weird? Try rambling and pointless and really altogether dull. And the man wrote "As I Lay Dying" on a typewriter while he was working night shifts alone at an old-ass power plant. As a result, the book is even harder to understand, generally causing ME more grief.

e.e. cummings and Faulkner would be good choices. They're weird.
