Valley of the Dolls

I read my first book for the Gilmore Girls reading challenge. I started with Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. I bought it at Borders because I saw it and knew it was on my list. I should have borrowed it from the library. It did not make my "I will read this again list." I have very little patience for weak female characters. I had high hopes for Anne. She seemed so strong at the beginning. Going out on her own from everything she had known to start a life she wanted. What happened to you, girl? I don't think love should have turned you into an idiot!

One down on my list... several more to go. I started Lady Chatterly's Lover and found Inferno and Uncle Tom's cabin on Daily Lit. I feel like I'm already behind in this challenge. I'm not much of a reader anymore. I used to read when I went outside to smoke... :)
