From ChickLit to ChickFlick

I've always thought that ChickLit was a bit of a fad tied into the entire "Sex and the City" phenomena but I was obviously wrong. "Sex and the City" is long gone but the books are still being pumped out at the speed of light. And today, while reading Belle's blog, I followed some links and discovered that there are a number of bloggers out there who have gone from blog, to book, to TV. Now rather than reading about the latest escapades, we're going to see them on the small screen. I'm not sure how well this is going to fare. SatC was a huge success because it was different but I'm not convinced that similar shows will have the same impact. As for the lit, I don't mind a good trashy novel once in a while but it has never been, and will never be, my favoured choice of reading material.

On a reading note, yet completely unrelated to chicks, I am reading James Frey's book "A Million Little Pieces" for a bookclub. I had hear bits and pieces of the controversy surrounding and the insert cleared things up a little more but to be completely honest, I'm not all that interested. It is a good story which is difficult to put down but it's more than a little depressing.
