Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963

This is the first thing I've read by Sontag, and perhaps a strange place to start. As reading enjoyment the beginning was the most compelling as Sontag undergoes swift changes in her intellectual landscape and social life. Her endless list of books to read are all inspiring and act as doorways to other people to check out (Kafka's diaries, Gide). The latter part is a little more scattered, but still filled with interesting and often pretty dark views into her psyche while leaving her family behind and having a seemingly unhealthy affair in Paris. The journal format is very appealing to me right now, maybe because of the honest and unfiltered thoughts that are put down. It's interesting to see the various forms her thoughts take and observations on art, society, emotion and intellect.
