Can you see my eyes rolling?

I’ve run across a couple of things recently that I thought about commenting on, but refrained. Well, I rolled my eyes a lot, I couldn’t help that. There was the article about erotic romance, nudge nudge wink wink and how poorly they’re written (link via RWA enotes which I didn’t save). I could offer to send the author of that article my perfect score on the language portion of my college entrance exam…nah. I rolled my eyes instead.

Now HelenKay’s linked to another article about how bodice rippers and chick lit are destroying women’s literature. Can you see my eyes rolling?

So I’m done with my obligatory eye-roll and now I have a poorly written book to finish which, in spite of it’s terrible quality, will nevertheless lead to the destruction of literature and women’s minds, too. Really. Can these two viewpoints exist in the same universe without something imploding? Or maybe blasting open a new neural pathway and letting in a new thought? One can hope.
