1 Down, 100 More to Go



So, I finally, finally am I to cross off the first goal off my list. And that would be #93 - Reread I Can't Tell You.

No lie; that's the name of the book. Which makes it a bit confusing to talk about. ("What're you reading?" "I Can't Tell You." "Oh, fine then.") But, despite this little snag, it's a great book. Hillary Frank doesn't sugarcoat things. Her characters are completely realistic, and so are her plots. And, though I've read this book before, I liked it even better the second time around. Probably because the first time through I was expecting one of those glossed-over, unrealistic, completely happy endings and was very upset when I didn't get one.

But you know what? I've realized now that life doesn't always work out seamlessly. So why should novels -- because they're fiction?

I'll put up some of my favorite quotes from the book later, and maybe some of you will read it. It's short, easy to follow, and pretty good. I'd definitely recommend it.

Consider goal #93 officially crossed off.
