… I simply cannot abide your book choices.
Why is this?
Day after day, I’ll hear book reviews on NPR, and they’re never
books I want to read. It’s puzzled me for years.
And their “best novels of 2011” list contains not a single thing
that I even liked.
I read only one of these books (State of Wonder by Ann Patchett), and it was not my favorite thing. And three of these books I started and was not in the mood to
finish (The Marriage Plot, The Art of
Fielding, and The Submission).
So I was just about to renounce all NPR book choices for all time,
when this little gem popped up on Facebook: NPR’s list of 2011’s best celebrity tell-alls.
Now that’s my kind of
list.
I’ve read only one of them so far (Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe), but I’ve just added
some of the others to my TBR.
Low brow at all?
Guilty as charged.

Their picks didn't thrill me, either.
Bybee -- Glad it's not just me.
I heard The Marriage Plot wasn't that good anyway, so you probably saved yourself a few hours you'd never get back! :)
Pam -- That's good to hear! I love saving time.
