The growth of chick lit
I’ve been known to be a bit of a book snob. My literary roots (i.e. my major is English and all I do is read) have given me some sort of complex where I think certain books are beneath my interest. Much of my scorn has been directed toward popular series like The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games Trilogy, The Fifty Shades Trilogy, and the like. I find myself instinctively rolling my eyes whenever these books come up in conversation. I’m not exactly sure what it is about these books that I find so off-putting, but I think it has something to do with the commercialization and the appeal to the mainstream. But my real enemy in the world of books has always been chick lit.
