Books: women who read them and women who write them:

A Million Little Pieces



I can't believe that Oprah had to go on national television to defend the author James Frey for his biography, turned in to his sort-of-kinda memoir. And then there are the worse kind of women. Or was that...


Women Who Make the World Worse



I must say that it is refreshing to learn that the only women that are making the world worse don't share her ideological beliefs. In fairness, I offer the viewer the chance to read a review Of Mrs. O'Breine book. But please be advised, you are likely to be exposed to the reviewer's bias.

Nay on the misogyny Sarah. The book is actually titled Women Who Make the World Worse. (the sub-title is even longer.) Kate Beirne wrote it I just used the title in what I thought was an appropriate manner.

As for Oprah, she had to be a little pissed off at James Frey. After all her book club took a serious hit some 4 years ago when a book, a "true story" she singled out for her fans to read turned out to be untrue.
