And you also bring up movies too, man. Yeah and on books again Sylvia Plath is on here for the bell jar.

I kind of wish I hadn't put that in here because she was a well-known poet.

But she did write the one book and then what she did stick her head in the oven or something.

I don't know how she killed herself. I think Virginia Woolf drowned herself, right? Sylvia Plath hung herself.
