Why is it so many of the books that are critically acclaimed are written by men?
I notice this because I kind of have a prejudice against male authors writing female characters. I don't think they (usually) do as good of a job as a woman would. So I tend to set aside books written by men, unless they are highly recommended. I find myself skipping over at least 3/4's of all the lists of books that are critically acclaimed.
Just finished Hurry Down Sunshine, Shelah. Not to be missed. Amazing writing & imagery, compelling subject matter, etc., etc. Best of luck scheduling that 30-day read-a-thon we all long for; we can dream, right? -Kellie
Thanks Shelah!!
