In other words, I think enjoying books like "Fifty Shades" is punishment enough by itself.

I am actually also a fan of not-so-great literature, but it's more because I have a habit of picking up this type of literature vs. seeking it out. Maybe I should look at reviews more often ;)<br /><br />Nicely done!randi leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207001299508931034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351235520870325177.post-13117071604451418522013-03-23T17:35:11.212-04:002013-03-23T17:35:11.212-04:00I just finished reading it today, David.

I now know what my next purchase will be--1968 it is. <br />Might I also recommend "Life Imitating Death" by Les Barba (penname). Maybe I'll write a review on that one as a guest post in the future...it really is painfully, hilariously bad. Especially since it is, ostensibly, a progressive treatise on the rights of indigenous people in southern Mexico, but the author depicts himself as this swashbuckling hero who sexes anything that moves, like a frat boy on Spring Break. <br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366070725021094012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351235520870325177.post-12132164681991691152013-03-22T21:48:57.147-04:002013-03-22T21:48:57.147-04:00Please send it to diane-carlisle at comcast dot ne...Please send it to diane-carlisle at comcast dot net.<br /><br />I would love to read it and comment!
