_The Golden Bowl_ by Henry James? 789 pages, about the
oh so perfectly cultured in their perfect world, rich beyond
belief and deserving, because they're the best. I'll probably
keep reading James, but gee, couldn't have everybody just

Or is it _The Bell Jar_ by Sylvia Plath? only some 400
pages. The computer in my kitchen is named Plath.
