I'm a culture junkie who works at a bookstore. Pop, high-brow, junk -- it's all good. I try and consume it all.
I read tons, especially young adult fiction. I also love quirky, offbeat novels; cultural analysis; mythology; girly fiction; fantasy; screwball romantic comedies; books with extremely flawed characters, yet somehow you really empathize with them; nonlinear narratives and language play.
This book really started to lag in the second half and started out with a rather odd sexual tone (in my opinion), but kept me interested enough to keep reading (even with the lackluster world-building).
