I think the name 'chick lit' is silly. I think it's just good fiction when done well... As a guy reading chick lit, I want to associate with any strong character who overcomes odds as the underdog. That's the competitor in me... I hope to read some of the above mentioned books, and to learn from them... I admit I’m a late chick lit reader bloomer. I think the name ‘chick lit’ is silly.

If you find that Borges article, pass me a link, okay? Lauren - Speaking of Frey, I have a piece going up on Huffington any moment. Hopefully the shit won't hit the fan, as they say. Mikel K - Don't worry, I just punched Lance in the arm for calling you Mike. Lance - Great list. Um, actually, I think if you do a Google on "dick lit," you'll find a genre there. You may find some other things, too, so don't do that Google search at work, maybe. Stephanie - I'm so glad you're here! And yeah, isn't it good company?

Who are you people? And where do you live? I love reading these comments and I now have a new place to park myself every morning when I'm supposed to be writing. Thank you, all of you, for coming together and giving me a legitimate reason to procrastinate.
