Book: Show us one of your favorite works of fiction.
But my new current read is sure to join the ranks of my favorite books.
It's the third in the four-book series, and after finishing the second one, I had to run right out and get this one. Am I, um, the book's target audience? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do I care? ABSOLUTELY NOT. These books are so well written and charming and touching that I don't care who sees me reading them on the Metro (especially those people who hop on the train and then promptly snuggle up with the newest Harry Potter---glass houses, is all I would say to them). The stories in these books are ones even adults can enjoy while they marvel at Brashares' impeccable technique. She writes the minds/thinking of young women (and not so young women) so well that it's insane. These are books I really want to share with other women, but I also want to share them with thoughtful men. In fact, I've offered to read a chapter a night at bedtime to my husband, but he refused on account of already being a giant p***y. Whatever. He knows he'd get all interested in the stories and then be embarrassed by his enthusiasm later.
