Maybe it was the result of a really good conversation I had with Dana
last night, but I was remarkably tolerant of James Frey in my last
post. In the interest of being "fair and balanced," I will balance my
niceness with a quote from Michiko Kakutani:
""A Million Little Pieces," which became the second-highest-selling book of 2005 (behind only "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"), clearly did not sell because of its literary merits. Its narrative feels willfully melodramatic and contrived, and is rendered in prose so self-important and mannered as to make the likes of Robert James Waller ("The Bridges of Madison County") and John Gray ("Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus") seem like masters of subtlety and literate insight."

Congratulations. You are Jay Gatsby from 'The Great
Gatsby.' You are an extremely optomistic
individual from a poor family. You spend all
your energy in order to win back your
girlfriend who is already married.
Unfortunately her husband finds out and you
end up dead.
Which F. Scott Fitzgerald protagonist are you? (guys and girls but guys prefered) now with pics
