I came across a reference to "do me" feminism in a novel today (A novel from 2003 MIGHT I ADD) Do I laugh or cry? And, oh, someone seems a bit preoccupied with cocksucking. What I'm trying to say: 75 pages in, Colin Harrison's The Havana Room seems rather dopey.
Other issues: I really don't care about the problems of overpaid Manhattan residents, not to mention my ongoing near zero interest in male angst.
Other bad experiments in my attempt at novel reading. Love is the Drug OOOOOOO. 20something women with "problems" = YAWN. The list making was a bit eh. Her taste is music was rather dumb (see my dislike for the novel Loaded as related to its tendency to describe STUPID mix tapes.) The key turnoff was the narrators claim of "What women wouldn't want to marry Lloyd Dobler?" WELL!!! I am not entirely sure how this became one of my top ten (ha ha, ok shoot me, fine) criminal offenses, but OH. Unless you want me to hurt you very badly, please do not assume I must like Say Anything/John Cusack because I am a young lady.
Posted by rosemary at May 08, 2004 11:29 PMOMG!!!! I totally forgot to tell you! "Lloyd Dobler" lives in the high rise above the store where I work and as he was pulling into the garage, he almost DROVE OVER MY FRIEND! This was last week, I think.
Hehhehehe. All that made me remember when we tried to convince Carolin that JC was a homofag.
And I've been updating the fifty most shaggable in all its incarnations. Fifty Most Dead! Fifty over Fifty! Fifty over Seventy! The fifty most jailbait edition is the most difficult. Hmm...maybe incompatiblility with DDC issues??????????????????????
