[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the Shopaholic books by Sophia Kinsella?

WAY too fluffy for me! I like bestsellers, but they need to be a bit more meaty than that.[/quote]

It is adorable that you think Jodi Picoult novels are more "meaty" than the Shopaholic books.

Seriously, the PP who asserted you would like books that have been made into movies with familiar actors is correct.  [/quote]

Have you read both? Dr. Seuss is more "meaty" than the Shopaholic books. [/quote]

Yes, I've read both.  Jodi Picoult writes hackneyed, formulaic commercial fiction that is the literary equivalent of a Big Mac.  A female Dan Brown, if you will.  If you don't notice the bad writing, I can't explain it to you.

I'm not saying I disagree with your criticism of the books, but could you try to be less of a pompous ass?  If OP has different taste than you, don't respond to her thread.  Don't both to make recommendations and keep your insults to your snobby self.  Ugh.[/quote]
