Aaah. I was recently pondering on all this. I am currently plowing through a "whodunnit" book, plowing, while grinding teeth. I'm not far from discontinuing it which I do not like to do. What a waste of money. I prefer to read in my native tribal language, English is a second option. But many of the books I want to read are not available yet. I would love to read Kristin Lavransdottir by Sigrid Undset or Agony and Extasy by Irving Stone but it is only on paper. So for an easy escape I bought this mind numbing "gem" of crime genre. Many more of those in all flavours available everywhere but c'mon I want a decent book once in a while too! We are fed this, by whose design? Because they sell well? They sell well because there is not much else? I do not read romances except Jane Austen once in a blue moon.
whinge whinge...
