Books 25 and 26

Book 25: on the Bright Side, I’m now the Girlfriend of a Sex God is the sequel to Louise Rennison’s Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. Like its predecessor, this book was extremely cute. But it had the exact same flaws–namely the heroine, Georgia Nicolson, is a little snot who should be smacked upside the head.

Speaking of people who should be smacked upside the head:

Lolita was my book club’s selection this month. I did not enjoy it. I’m apparently not enough of an intellectual reader to pick up on the myriad symbols present in the text, and I found the characters, at best flat and boring, and at worst irritatingly whiny and psychotic. Plus, it’s about a pedophile. I just really couldn’t get past that.
