[Shitty Books]"Chick" Books[WTF] (45)

Can someone please explain to me these goddamn "chick" books, with so-called "smart and sassy women" who are slaves to chocolate, and shoes?

Reading the back of these is like reading a shoe store sequence from "Married with Children", without the funny! Well, without the intended funny, anyhow.

Seriously. WTF? Is this supposed to appeal to me, because it's main attraction is for use as kindling, or cramming up the ass of the idiot author who wrote it.

>>8 is talking out of his ass.

The people I know who read "chick" books are not housewives, do not stuff themselves with sweets, and only half are overweight. They range in age from 22 to 65. A couple of them listen to NPR and watch PBS regularly ( public stations in the U.S. ) and all of them are fairly intelligent. ( One of them does watch soaps, but she is an anomaly, and certainly not stupid. )

I would bet that >>8 is only extrapolating his "population of 40-ish housewives" from the one or two that he has seen watching soaps in the gym, and then has assumed that they go home, eat sweets, and read shoddy novels. You are part of the problem, >>8.

There is also a market for books which aren't like that, amazingly enough, and for some strange reason, that doesn't mean these books exist. Hmm.
