Well you all, I'm going to Head To "The Other Side Of Midnight" and go to bed. You all have an awesome evening.

Take Care

Until recently, I had a strange aversion to fiction, and read mostly self-help, spirituality, and Buddhist scripture. I also love a good biography. But Sidney Sheldon never appealed to me (wasn't he also the creator of I Dream of Jeannie?)...I always put him in the same boat with V. C. Andrews (and Danielle Steele). Is that about right?

I checked out I Know This Much Is True and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter at the library yesterday...

you got it. mass market fiction you can skim through in an hour or two without much thought. and then you forget it.

(sorry, ethan. his work is just not at all challenging, or particularly well written for that matter. that's my opinion. i read him when i was about 10 or 11, around the same time i read danielle steele crap. but hey, that's what you do when you're 10)

I tried reading a Danielle Steele book once... something about never being lost or forgotten, or whatever... I don't think I even finished the first chapter.

Well, they are definately page turners, but you are right, they are very plainly written.

When you were 10 or 11?? Seems a little age inappropriate, to say the least.

What about V. C. Andrews? I can't believe that woman didn't have the SVU busting down her door; if she'd written her books 15-20 years later, she probably would have.
