Reddit reviews History of Beauty

I had actually just finished 'The Bell Jar'. It was very interesting and sad. I have conflicted opinions on it.

Just started reading On Ugliness, the complementary book to History Of Beauty. Since I have an attraction to grotesque, I love it. Usually there isn't an actual discussion on ugliness, only as contraditction to beauty, so it's incredibly interesting, imo.

Edit: Oh! also fanfiction.

Bitten b Witch Fever was beautiful and fun to read. It’s in between the size of a regular book and a coffee table book.

A little smaller, but equally interesting is A History of Beauty by Umberto Eco

Have your read Eco's History of Beauty?

Or his On Ugliness?

Along these lines, Umberto Eco's On Ugliness is fantastic.

There is also the companion History of Beauty
