The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath is a sensuous reading experience.  We talk a lot in qualitative nursing research about 'rich thick descriptions' and Sylvia's reflections feel luxurious, thick and rich. It's the kind of book where you feel like you are present in the moment with her using your senses; hearing, seeing, tasting, touching, and smelling.  I'm missing something in the everyday if I'm not living that way ~ taking the time to smell the roses.
