books these days

sex and the city on book. i saw these titles are grouped together under a sign that said "for women":

the devil wears prada
let's meet on platform 8
the dirty girls social club
confessions of a shopaholic
i love everyone (and other atrocious lies)

look at these titles. no wonder our society's women are all stupid, stupid whores. look! the best (or worst, i can't decide which) part? i saw a bunch of "novels" in the young adult section named "the gossip girl." yes, the gossip girl. there's a role model for all the impressionable young stupid whores-in-training still in middle school or high school. young adults are building up to the aforementioned whore titles from gossip girl novels such as: "i like it like that," "because i'm worth it," "all i want is everything," "you're the one that i want," and "you know you love me." which of those titles is the worst? what word am i looking for here? it has to mean stupid, lacking all self-respect, promiscuous, hateful, and other words i can't think of. and it has to make a person feel nauseous just hearing it, like i felt when i saw this series.

on a less awful note: i was mesmerized by the young adult section at borders, not counting the gossip girl. there are so many good books that i remember! lucky kids... i saw his dark materials by philip pullman, a wrinkle in time by madeleine l'engle, so you want to be a wizard by diane duane, redwall by brian jacques, and some others i think, that i can't remember now. there are 2 more books in the wizardry series by DD, and i think i might buy them. there are a bunch of other books by ML, but they look like typical crappy young adult things about girls meeting boys in europe. and i read maybe 10 books by BJ before realizing they stopped being good after redwall, or mossflower.

harry potter's success has led to a ton of crap that looks the exact same. or at least similar. i'd be interested in reading some but i imagine some of it has to be crap, considering the volume of books in this 11-year old wizard genre that are being published now. a lot of them are trilogies, which is funny. how many 12 year old kids know what a trilogy is? although with star wars and the lord of the rings, the word might be a little more common nowadays. regardless, the edge trilogy, the spiderwick trilogy, the bartimaeus trilogy... there's "a series of unfortunate events," which is in book the 11th now. what else? artemis fowl is on book 2? and so is eragon, i think. can anyone tell me if any of these books are worth it?

i'm thinking of starting a _ group, what are they called? a protest group? something like, sensible people against stupid, stupid whores. spassw. almost good. i'll work with the name a bit.
