  OK, so here we are again, 8 hours behind the action.

  Let me just start by saying I read The Bell Jar when I was about 17. I didn’t know it was just for girls. I also read 1984, Nausea by Sartré, A Clockwork Orange and Lots of John Updike. I think I would understand them a bit better if I read them again. This may say more about me than I’d hoped.
