I want a sticker on the front that says "reading guide included" so that the non-avid-reader people that I've attended book clubs with will have a reason to pick it up when it's their turn to choose a title. Not everybody was an English/creative writing major, after all. Some people- shhh-*leans in conspiratorially* didn't even go to college.

Note the delicate structure of the sarcasm in the second paragraph:<br /><br /><i>Was there any symbolism in the symbolic symbol in chapter 4?</i><br /><br />The author uses repitition to nice effect in order to underscore the banal nature of many of the questions posited in the back of these books, offering the reader insight into her perspective.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120847492230531939noreply@blogger.com
