It's an interesting thing, I am more fascinated by the life of Sylvia Plath than her actual works (poems more specifically). I do enjoy her books/stories. And I've heard there are clips on YouTube of Sylvia herself doing reading of her work. I really need to check those out.
Another author I enjoy reading has been V.C. Andrews. Her stories are quite twisted and she actually died a while ago and someone else has been writing stories like her, under her name. They keep me interested. I wish there was more about the life of V.C. Andrews out there. A lot of the stories are now in a way repeating themselves, but with different characters. The person writing them needn't stick so close to the original plot lines, I don't think.
Most recently, I have been reading Maureen Lee and Beverly Lewis. Enjoying them very much. Lucky for me they both have many books ;)
So, who are your favourite authors?

That made me think of my favorite Sylvia Plath quote - "Like the cat I have nine times to die." Until then I'd never realized that nine lives also meant nine deaths. It was as though she saw the world through a dark mirror.
Yes, it seems that way doesn't it?
I am not a good reader of poetry, I have to admit. I can never figure out what one means by what they say. But that's just me. I do find her to be quite an interesting study though.
Thanks for your comment.
