What a waste of trees.

Do you say this because you've read some, and can therefore make an accurate assessment? |

Well if you're printing books for perusal by infant barnyard fowls who obviously can't read, yes, you are indeed wasting timber on that. |

People should read what makes them feel good and happy. No one should apologize for what they read. When I was young I was into the "deep"stuff, I read a lot of philosophies, political books, history, etc., now that I'm an old lady and at my end time, I read only what gives me pleasure including children and young adult books, cozy mysteries, fantasies, science fiction, mysteries, biographies, anything that takes my mind off of the little aches and pains that increase with each year. I have never been impressed by what people read or claim they read, I am impressed when people just READ.

I never read any harlequin novels, I'm not into romance but if someone enjoys them then they should read them. Its just important to read, think of all the people in the world who cannot read, they are missing out on something wonderful. I've been reading a lot of mysteries lately, some are "cozy" and some are not but reading them relaxes me. |

Example: I bought a book at a friend's garage sale called The Friday Night Knitting Club. The heroine is a plucky single mom who doesn't know how beautiful she is. Gag. All the women are plucky and all the men are jerks, except for one senior citizen. |

Couldn't have been worse than that stupid "100 year old man..." whatever book where the whole book was summed up again in the last chapter after he got arrested. Didn't finish the book and I was on that last chapter. If I had known it was going to be retold in 30 pages or less, I would have started there and not wasted so much time and brain cells.

Or downright unattractive? Unless it's being played on as a joke of course. No, they're always 'beautiful'--and of course, they always just have no idea at all of it. Same thing with movies where the main female character runs around moaning about how 'ugly duckling' she is and of course (again), she's gorgeous, what any woman in reality would kill to look like. Ugh. |

The worst part is when the guy who dumped the heroine starts realizing how great she really is and what a fool he's been. Pure science fiction.

Acacia trees, specifically. Although Chiclets does not list gum arabic as an ingredient, to my knowledge.
