I call Jane Austen "chick lit" every once in a while, but only when I'm pulling someone's leg a little. I still don't really enjoy reading her, but I appreciate her as author.

I'll say that I've also dismissed "Bridget Jones's Diary" as chick lit, and some friends of mine would have said this was an unfair dismissal. Having read about 30 pages, I think it was a justified label.

I would say "The Prince of Tides" gets unfairly dismissed as chick lit fairly often.

Great piece. Only issue i have is comparing "too white," which is dismissive and annoying, to "chick lit," which is embraced as a genre title by many authors, readers, publishers, and bookstores…

Wait, what's happening to Krispy Kreme?

As in "the next one's coming even faster"?

Your facts and logic ain't got no business here, son.

Looks like Shawn's been hitting the gym to burn off some of that fat recently. He's definitely looking more muscular, or "pec"-ish, you could say.

Yeah and remember that town in "Picket Fences?" That place was a mess!

I watched the show OnDemand two days after it aired, thought it was over waaay before it was actually over, went to this review, and was 'spoiled' on the ending.
