oh how i love all you silly bitches.

ya, francesca lia block is a great name. you should read "dangerous angels" by her.. it's a compiliation of like 5 books.. i really enjoy it. or i did when i read it when i was like 16 and read it like 4 times- i need to re-read it (now that i'm old as fuck). anyway, she writes mostly adolescent-geared stuff, in a very "pretty" and descriptive manner- but one that often lacks depth. 

so ya the original point to this comment (i swear there was one) was to clarify my previous statement regarding this piece reminding me of her writing. i mean that it is very "lush" (that word is silly but whatever) and descriptive and tangile. but it has depth too, it's not all surface descriptions. so you beat miss. block in this regard. yay!

ohoh OMG. actually, i take it back about "dangerous angels". don't bother. read "the rose and the beast" which is her retelling of like 10 classic fairy tales. SUPER quick read and has a very lyrical quality that i suspect you would enjoy. and that is probably why i thought of her in the first place when i read this. 

you're probably too busy to read anyway and just wish i would shut the fuck up with my book rec's but.. uh... oh well. 

also, i was trying to write something the other day (before i read this) and i said "shades of grey", too. we are twins?
