Truthfully, I think the only Chic Lit book I have read is “Bridget Jones’ Diary.” And it was hilarious. I don’t tend to indulge in them because I do have them sitting next to “1984″ and “Ulysses.” My brain is telling me to read the “Big Guys” first. I hate when I am with a group of people and they are all taking about some life changing, world-renowned book that I have never read. But, this is my life. I am not a businesswoman. If I were then I would probably indulge more in lit that applies more easily to me and read the occasional “big” book when I had the time. But, alas, Ulysses continues to stare me in the face, and I’ll be damned if it’s going to get the best of me.
But, back to Bridget. I loved the book because I kept thinking, “Oh girl, I know.” Like when she would quit smoking and it would last about 6 hours and then she would smoke like 10 in a row. It was nice to relate to someone in the hear and now.

Comment on Teen Chick Lit: Who is turning the pages and why? by Jenny

This comment is more in response to your topic than to your specific post, although I agree that I had some brief interest in the kind of “pre-teen chick-lit” that you are describing. The whole genre seems kind of superficial, and very specific to the audience, which is why I was interested to hear some insight on it from someone who had experience with publishing. Kristin Gore came to speak on campus a couple months ago, and she told our class that when her novel “Sammy’s Hill” was being reviewed and marketed, the publisher wanted to attach a “chick-lit” feel to the book, even though Gore hadn’t written it that way. Playing up the female lead made the book easier for the publisher to sell. What I thought was interesting was that right after she told us that, Gore said that the chick-lit genre is “dead” and that it “wasn’t selling anymore.” It made me think about how much of literature is based on pop culture, advertising, and current trends… one of those “don’t judge a book by its cover” things. Sometimes a book doesn’t get to pick its own cover.
