No one's gonna care about this but.....

in a fit of post-Christmas boredom, I bought the sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary, called Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. I never read the first book, but I saw the movie and what's there to know? It's not like it's great literature or something.

I now have NO idea why I bought it. I hate it. The style of writing, with the constant mentioning of the time the little two-sentence entry was written, is jarring to me. And HOW is she writing constant updates in her diary when she is SKIING? It's so melodramatic and I know Helen Fielding might have been poking fun at this type of person, but damn, it gets old fast.

Also, the constant navel-gazing with regard to relationships and dating is something I have v. v. little patience for (v. is her abbreviation for "very," isn't it PRECIOUS? She uses it a LOT).

Another thing: the cover has a picture of Renee Zellwegger. I have nothing against the woman, but her mouth......well, it looks....constipated. And it grosses me out everytime I see it, which is everytime I pick up the book.

So anyone who wants it for free, PM me your address and I will mail it to you post haste. Seriously, I will. I have a big brown envelope all ready to go.

2. I hated the first book

I thought it was me, because it was the only book I had to read while on a flight from Heathrow to Seattle and I felt trapped by it. I wanted to beat the author with my carry-on by the time I got off the flight.

5. THANK YOU!!!

I have never hated a book so much!

I am kinda giggling, though, because I am sitting here bad mouthing it and trying to give it away! Who's gonna want it? LOL!

3. I bought Legally Blonde 2

And, Im ashamed to say that I actually liked it. Good luck on future mindless chick flicks.

Yeah, this is total crap, you want it?

Hee hee. At least I'm giving it away, though. Maybe someone knows someone who would love it!

7. Just give it away to charity

They can sell it for 25 cents or something. :D

8. True.

If I get no takers, that is exactly what I'm doing, and it's in great condition, I only bought it two days ago!

(I got up to page 94 by the way. If I read anymore I will open a vein.)
