I’ve been saying this for years. The real terrorists are at home, infiltrating our miiiiiinds, maaaan! You think you can keep them out, but you can’t. Who can resist a book with a headless, hot-bodied woman on the cover? Apparently not other women. A former insider dishes on the insipid pablum that is chicklit.
You know chick-lit novels, those pastel bonbons that have turned your local Barnes & Noble into a gingerbread house of crap writing. Maybe you’ve even bought a book or two, anything from Candace Bushnell’s 4 Blondes, to one of Sophie Kinsella’s innumerable Shopaholic titles. A little harmless beach reading, you thought at the time. Doesn’t hurt anybody.
Well, I know chick lit. I used to read, edit and publish it, and I’m here to tell you: Chick lit does hurt people. Chick lit hurts America.

i beleave that chicklit is a neserary evil of literature. the people who read it would not read
anything unless they read this pulp.
