Read Any Good Books Lately?

Thanks, Georgie. Just as there are "chick flicks," there are novels geared to the female population. Jennifer Weiner is one currently popular author of such books. "In Her Shoes" was made into a movie. Our book club read "Little Earthquakes" about four women as they undergo pregnancy, raising infants, etc. From the amazon.com writeup:

"While Little Earthquakes may leave little to the imagination, and some of the characters are laughably stereotypical (the Mama's boy Jewish doctor and the cheating ball player, to name a few), it is Weiner's gift for creating compelling characters with whom her readers can identify that make her such a successful storyteller." --Gisele Toueg
We all enjoyed the book although it's not very profound--like a Beaujolais Villages perhaps.
