Janice Harayda pointed out the retardedness of discussion group questions in the back of a certain book. I cannot help but to agree that yes, they are retarded. I have a few books with such questions in the back, and reading them makes me roll my eyes at best. But asking questions that have little or nothing to do with the book? That’s just dumb. Philippa Gregory books are prone to such dumbness. Why can’t book groups come up with their own discussions? Or is it unfashionable to mark up a book with a pencil, pointing out sections to oneself to come back to later?
I’m so disgusted, I’m going to go to class now.
