| i'm trying, i swear |
| 11.25.05 (6:19 pm) [edit] |
After two weeks of bedrest steeped in mediocre trashy novels, I picked up Wicked at the library and I'm doing my damnedest to read it. I figured, if they made a hugely successful Broadway show out of it, how bad could it be?I must admit that my current situation and attention span are far more suited to some Mary Kay Andrews than anything blurbed by John Updike. But how many times can a gal read Andrews or Crusie before becoming completely disillusioned with life? I need some chick lit with bite, but I need something new. Suggestions, s'il&nb sp;vous plait? Assume, by the way, that I will not read about rape, sick kids , dying kids, lost kids, tragic pregnancies, or women who can't gain weight no matter how many milkshakes they drink. Not to be difficult, but there's only so much Zoloft that's safe to take in a day. |

Have you ever read the books
'the chrysalids' (not sure if it's spelt correctly and i can't remember the author.
Or 'Wild geese' by Martha Ostenso
both shorter type novels- no sick kids- rape or the like in either.
they are both kind of about liberation... great books.
