A few years back I got into the habit of reading every night before I went to sleep. It seems to be the only thing that helps me unwind and stop worrying about stuff so I actually can sleep. After a long day of Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky or whatever, I enjoy nothing more than the book form of a chick flick. The characters must engaging and amusing and there has to be some sort of romantic plot. Yes, it is mindless tosh, but I read it because it's for a good cause. Anything heavier gets me thinking and then sleep doesn't happen. Lately I've been pretty much down to 2 authors who fit the requirements, mainly because I know the characters so I really enjoy reading about them. So I was incredibly disappointed last night when I purchased a brand new book by one of these two favored nighttime reading authors and within the first 3 pages I knew how it would end. The narrative seemed tiresome because it was all working toward something I could predict as soon as the book was cracked. The whole time I was just thinking, "Nice story, but her novels are formulaic, she needs to branch out some more." So thank you, AP Lit, for actually making me think about things like that. Now I only have one acceptable author to read at night.

They don't call me "the poem ruiner" for nothing. I guess you can call me the "lit ruiner" too. All i need now is a theme song (and a cool costume).
Saget, you might as well be "the life ruiner".
As fo Sio, that does indeed suck. I bet my mom could reccomend you something, though. She reads alot of that sort of stuff.
My only response to this is that I completely adore the title of this post. (Surtout parce qu'il n'y a pas de personne ici qui peut le comprendre)
