Ok, can anyone in the Morridor back me up on this? What's with grown-ass women reading YA lit and WWII books in book clubs? Seriously, if they're not reading the next Twilight garbage, they're reading "Sarah's Key" or "The Inkeepers Wife" (I just made that one up)
I have a theory- they read BAD WWII novels because it was the last time in American history that a conflict was black and white. There were good guys (us) and bad guys (nazis), and since their sheeple minds can't handle any morally gray areas. (Notice the novels never have to do with Hiroshima, a decidedly more nuanced event)
I alway knew I didn't fit in with their book club culture because I read books that were, you know, good.
