That column is my undoing.
It is why I cannot be trusted on Amazon, in Barnes and Noble, or pretty much anywhere with books with a credit card. I just can't.
And then at the ends of these posts I ask y'all for more suggestions. See, I'm a glutton for punishment.
Well, trailers do the exact same thing. My friend and I recently saw Frankenstein, and there were commercials for upcoming ballets and plays and stuff, and when my friend saw that Of Mice and Men was going to be showing, she ordered me to see it with her.
I was like, "Sure, is it good?" And she just looked betrayed and hurt that I apparently had never read the book. (Sorry, Meredith.)
But I'm fixing the problem now, okay?
I have absolutely no idea what this book is about aside from the 30 second trailer for the play. It looks to be about at least one pretty woman and two... brothers? Friends? One of them is a little slow, but seemed precious, but nobody ever wrote a story with no conflict, and my friend already told me that although Steinbeck is too wordy for his own good, it's about as emotionally traumatic as Frankenstein was.
See, I told you: glutton for punishment, this girl right here.
UDPATE: I read it and it was emotionally traumatic on so many levels I am so glad we did not see the play because I would have cried again this makes three books ever that have made me cry oh my goodness.
What books are you planning to read this month?
I could always use always need suggestions.
