I tend to have wildly ecclectic tastes in reading. One of the things I've been working through lately are some of the "gaps" in my knowledge of critically acclaimed literature. As a rule, I'm not a huge Plath fan, but I did love this quote. It's so me.

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them. Whenever I'm sad I'm going to die, or so nervous I can't sleep, or in love with somebody I won't be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: "I'll go take a hot bath."...

I never feel so much myself as when I'm in a hot bath.

--Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
