now that the calm's returned, i know i can't manage.

Fel was getting really tired of me hating on this book. She told me "Fuck you, I'm going to read this book now and like it just to spite you." So she found a copy online and started reading it. She hates it. :) I feel vindicated. Here's a compilation of comments she's made through out her reading.

"I read this and I think 'I could write something like this'. But I'm not a good writer."

"It reminds me of when a student is writing a paper and trying to sound smart so they grab a thesaurus but when the teacher reads it she's like 'this is shit'".

"It's like 'I grabbed his loins. And we gyrated.' What is with this vocabulary?"

"I ground my teeth together. That's the most insignificant sentence I've ever had to read."

"I ran. He ran. We ran together. Side by side... I gazed. He gazed. We gazed."

Me: "She really could have done without this line."
Fel: "That's the whole book."

Fel: "I hate this book already."
Me: "I thought it had potential?"
Fel: "It did! But not if it keeps dragging on this way!"
Me: "Come on, you're on page 77! Only...uh...400 more pages to go!"
Fel: "I'm not even a quarter of a way through the book! *screams into pillow* I'm having a meltdown over it. THIS IS SO NOT HARRY POTTER. >( My mind feels numb.
Nothing has even happened! So far a car accident and... nothing!"

"I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble and shit on a copy of this book and then put it back."

New friends, just leave a comment letting me know how you came across my LJ and I'll likely add you back. :)
