@WyndSlash,

Yes, I want to throttle them too, I'm afraid. I particularly find the weight-emphasis obnoxious -- the whole meme in chick lit that 5'5", 12X pounds is "chubby" or "fat" is quite tiresome to me.

And I also don't like the consumer culture of a lot of chick lit and "Sex in the City" -- I don't want to be all PEOPLE ARE STARVING when someone buys a $500 pair of sunglasses because have I mentioned I have four eReaders for no adequate reason, but still, my gorge rises a little when the novels delve into brand name dropping.

I LOVE food related novels. Can we just keep this addiction thread going forever? Because this is awesome.
