... sexism, as I can think of at least one female author whose semi-autobiographical work even gave me chills/nightmares: The Yellow Wallpaper by Gilman.

47. The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman A nice read, a very nice read indeed! I had little idea what I am getting into when I picked up this book, and had my eyes popping out of my head when I finished the book in under an hour. This short story is quite ideal for a bedside ...

Teazle, The Yellow Wallpaper arrived safe and sound. Thank you very much. I was surprised at how small the actual story is! Very kind of you to mail it over.

I've added The Fire-Dwellers and The Yellow Wallpaper.

It is not The Yellow Wallpaper, but it could be The Snake Pit. Someone also suggested Asylum Piece by Anna Kavan. Man this has been driving me nuts.

The Whitstable bookshops are great! I picked up a non-green copy of The Yellow Wallpaper today.

The thing that comes most to mind is The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but I don't think it was published anonymously.

Good questions! I just got The Yellow Wallpaper from the library and am looking forward to reading it this weekend.

37 & 38 They are both recent VMC's, with coloured covers. If you click on the touchstones you can see the covers I mean. The Yellow Wallpaper has the back view of a naked woman on the cover. No Signposts in the Sea is sepia with a woman leaning on some railings looking at the sea. I'm ...

I feel like an oinker asking you for another one, Teazle, but I'd love The Yellow Wallpaper if no one else does. It has been on my wishlist for a while now. ETA: Teazle, if it isn't a Virago, rather than putting you out for the postage over the ocean, I can keep looking here. That's too ...

Standouts from that previous list include Fingersmith, All the Pretty Horses, The Yellow Wallpaper, The Leopard, The Slap, The Player of Games, Rebecca and Cold Comfort Farm. They were the ones I had to convince myself to not give 5 stars to, as I do have a tendency to over-rate ...

I find that I nearly always save up the DailyLit instalments to read in one hit. Funnily enough I also read The Yellow Wallpaper and have The Awakening sitting in my inbox waiting for me.

... they chop the story up into what they consider to be five-minute reads (I read them a bit faster than that). I got The Yellow Wallpaper in several installments. When I did The Yellow Wallpaper, I just waited until I had them all, then read it all at once. I definitely find it too bitsy, ...

I also finished The Yellow Wallpaper this week - couldn't put it down over breakfast and was almost late for work! The actual meaning of the ending still puzzles me a bit.

I remember when my husband (then my boyfriend) had to read The Yellow Wallpaper in college. He told me that he didn't understand why it was considered feminist literature. After all, the wife was crazy and the husband just kept her locked in her room for her own good, right? To keep her safe? ...

16. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman A short story about the oppression of women and the boredom and loneliness of being forced to stay at home.

Sneakily read The Yellow Wallpaper on Dailylit.com while at work ;) Reminded me of The Woman in White. I've also subscribed to some of the Edgar Allen Poe 1001 entries :)

The yellow wallpaper. There are stories in Cortazar and Borges in which places are expressions of mental states--unfortunately... can't remember titles off the top of my head. I know I know more, but I have to try to recall...

... the book I got lost and couldn't remember who was who in a complicated thriller/mystery. Sorry, IrishHolger, I loved The Yellow Wallpaper as well.

I loved The Yellow Wallpaper myself.

Just finished The Yellow Wallpaper. Hardly what I would call a book. Then I again if it was any longer I'd never have finished it. Yet another highly overrated entry from that list that is mainly of interest for historic purposes, and less so for any current reading pleasure.

... dying to know what the big "twist" is at the end of the novel, but am holding myself back from looking it up! Up next is The Yellow Wallpaper, The Uncommon Reader, and The Remains of the Day.

... there are several entries that are..not..hehe. Walden certainly not. And all the Poe short stories are not novels. The Yellow Wallpaper is only a few pages..it seems some criterion were stretched a bit to accomadate the wishes of the contributors.

OK finished the non 1001 book White Tiger which was very good. I read the The Yellow Wallpaper online at work while waiting for my PC to complete a task. Interesting enough, I would have liked to see it progress more. Now I've just started I, Robot which I expect to enjoy having read ...

19. The Yellow Wallpaper (1001 List) Creepy short story, the kind you'd dissect in an advanced high school English class.

KIK! The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story about a mentally unstable woman in non-modern day who vacations at her husband aka doctor's decision. There is a room in the house with yellow wallpaper. I'm trying to avoid spoilers. Every time I've read it I see something that I didn't see before. ...

I also read The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman for the "1001 Books" project, but I'm not including that in my count since it was so short. Excellent read, caused shivers and dread of what was happening. My coworker has recommended the film version, so I am on the hunt for that.

The Yellow Wallpaper and All the Pretty Horses were my favourite reads. With honourable mention to The Leopard and Anna Karenina as being quite magnificent, if not quite in the "favourite" category. I did like all the "1001" books I read this quarter, which was a nice change! Usually there's ...

Just read The Yellow Wallpaper. I was planning to read it through DailyLit, but it was so short I just breezed through it in one go. Excellent though!

This month, I also read The pit and the pendulum and The Yellow Wallpaper during lunch time. Yeah for Project Gutemberg!

So tempting to start on Snow flower and the Secret Fan but at the moment I've just finished a short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and I'm now reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Both are on DailyLit.com and are from the 1001 list.

Wow, all these DailyLit devotees! Wish there was some sort of referral system... ;) I got The Yellow Wallpaper in two lots of four installments (you can adjust the installment length, and get 1, 2 or 4 installments at a time, but there are noticeable breaks from the 1-installment version, so ...

Just finished The Yellow Wallpaper in 8 instalements from Dailylit (they email you the instalements). If you want to read this book (really a short story) or any of the shorter ones, this is a really quick way to do it. Thanks to wookiebender who got me onto it :-) Now I'll be back onto The ...

crimson-tide, I went from The Yellow Wallpaper to Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley, because, well, there it was on the page. I read the first installment last week and rather enjoyed it (although I'm not used to Huxley as a comic writer, because - while I haven't read it yet - Brave New World is ...

>18: Wookiebender, I followed your example, signed up on DailyLit and have now also read The Yellow Wallpaper via email installments. :D I agree wholeheartedly - it's a great (short) read and a great free service they offer. The fact it comes in chunks is somewhat less daunting, especially ...

From my meager list of February reads I'd place The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman top of the list. A very well written short story. I also enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.

I subscribed to DailyLit this week, and got them to send me The Yellow Wallpaper which I've been meaning to read for ages, and I got it read last night.

Just finished The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (it took something like 1 hour max...the introduction was longer than the story). Powerful yet haunting novella. Now reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I love that one of his teachers calls him "3.14".

I finished The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a novella written in 1892. While she has penned some lovely phrases: "the height of romantic felicity" and "there is a delicious garden", she also has some troubling ones: "I take pains to control myself" and he (the husband) "hardly ...

Some wikipedia editors find The Yellow Wallpaper canonically decadent. Just using "yellow" in a title during that period practically crosses the threshold of decadence.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I've gone through and read some Bierce, James, Blackwood and Saki thus far, as well as The Yellow Wallpaper. (Loved it. Why did I wait so long to read it?) I'm hoping to get through some more tonight.

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short horror story, though not a ghost story, and its available online for free -- though I don't actually know the address at the moment. Its one of my favorite stories.

Have to agree - Youth and The Yellow Wallpaper are standouts for me too. Coetzee is one of my favourite authors.

Read The Yellow Wallpaper and loved it. I had forgotten that I read it ages ago ~ it wasn't until I got to the end that it came back to me. Also read Fingersmith, which was just amazing.

I liked both Youth by Coetzee and The Yellow Wallpaper. But Coetzee is one of my favorite authors, and Youth is an absorbing read. In parts it's quite depressing and in other parts comical. The sufferings of the artist as a young man..

Okay time to do one last bump. Combining Y and Z books: I like The Yellow Wallpaper the best. Creepy tale of a woman going insane. Nice short read as well. -- M1001

I read The Yellow Wallpaper just last week. Interesting how her symptoms changed and grew as the book went on. Very short book for those who might be interested. How brave she must have been to reveal so much about depression and mental illness during that period of time.

Well, I've done a little of that ANI (artificial number inflation) myself. Isn't that why everyone seems to have read The Yellow Wallpaper and the Poe stories? Now I'm doing the opposite--reading Middlemarch. I can't think of a special term for reading the longer books on the 1001 list.

Is it just The Yellow Wallpaper that is on the list, or is it the book of short stories containing that short story?
