My colleague who lent me the book has been in London for the last week and said she'd get some more books. I can't wait. I think I might have seen some M Keyes at Nu Metro. Will check when next I am there.Orehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10230896381942258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-30266219932870009782007-04-15T01:33:00.000+02:002007-04-15T01:33:00.000+02:00qHa... Marian Keyes, she is a delight!<BR/>I have all of her books and I am definitely not into ChickLit. I am more of a Twain/Dumas/Harding/Austen person...but Marian Keyes lightens the heart...<BR/>I recommend my personal fav,'Lucy Sullivan is getting married'.<BR/>I have beside me her latest 'Anybody out there' which I picked up in Tralee and I am rollingJoladenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-36763141114297675052007-04-13T21:53:00.000+02:002007-04-13T21:53:00.000+02:00LOL!!!!

Frankly I think you need help! So like your good neighbour, I'ma gonna giva da help to you.<BR/> It's clear you are indulging in Dolly Pattonesque lit out of guilt. You spurned Doris Lessing, elbowed Ata Aidoo, fell asleep while Toni Morrison spoke and so clearly are begging to be punished for it all by imagining that redemption can be found in the forgetfulness Chicklit is replete with!<BR/>Well I've got news for girl; You are not the only one. 1)it won't last. You are like a sobering alcoholic who mistakenly fell out of the wagon just once with no one watching. You will flagellate yourself a bit but soon common sense will take over when you realise that what you alone know, will hurt no one else(but you know, don't you?). So you will pick up yourself and get back on that wagon.<BR/>2)It will happen again. And you will recover. Again and again and...<BR/>I guess that's why they call it escape literature. But do read a 'smart book' once in a while o.k. A mind is truly a terrible thing to waste![TIC]obynohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14043581423528375583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-47039544371149112812007-04-11T20:43:00.000+02:002007-04-11T20:43:00.000+02:00LOL. I find that having a balance is great. I read anything that catches my fancy so I will go through a Zadie Smith book today, do the mandatory management book tomorrow and cuddle up with thrashy jackie collins the day after. I love Marian Keys...<BR/><BR/>Try Jane Green, The shopaholic series...<BR/><BR/>Balance my dear. You are so young and smart but some mindless fluff is good for the soul too....Uzohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08546598626824830828noreply@blogger.com
