As always, we get to see more than one viewpoint regarding this issue, which is a good thing. Sad books, movies, etc. in general, I avoid. I figure why pay money for what I have for free every day----yes, that is supposed to be something of a joke...
I was saved any possible exacerbation of my condition with respect to Plath, because I never understood her writing. And, I never read Sexton. So, I can't comment directly on the issue, but that never stopped me before.
I did read Lonesome Dove a while back at the urging of a friend, and THAT turned me into a crying machine for about a month.
Mainly, I just wanted to applaud the expression of different points of view in this forum.
