RalieghDog 18 yrs ago
Oh My God! I am so shocked to learn this. I must have read that book 12 tmes or more as an adolescent. I am pretty sure that was what instilled such a fear of drugs in me. Even worse I read Jay's Journal a couple of …

Lol. Maybe you should write your own book: The Worst Honeymoon Ever. Hope parts of the honeymoon were good at least since I gather from your gentle comments you didn't like the book.

Glad you sent her a message. I used to love Oprah but lately she seems to have lost perspective in more areas than just this one. I think she is so gifted and could be such a force for important change, it just seems s…

Thanks for the head up. I toyed with the idea of reading that for Paperback Pals 1000 pgs. challenge. Do you think the story is any good or is it just the writing style that you object to?

I totally agree with you it is not the pictures that I hate so much, some of which may be charming if it were not for the mass marketing he does in a completely non-apologetic way. Nothing artistic about it.

That is a very similar analogy to what I have always believed. In all other art forms it seems acceptable perhaps even desireable to disagree. Don't know why we booklovers feel we are wrong if we don't love the same boo…
