the devil wears prada

So, during this Week O' Insanity, I've been reading like mad. I finished Kushiel's Scion¹, the novelization for Superman Returns² and The Devil Wears Prada. Today I am going for The Alienist.

And okay, I have these rules about things I read. Only it's not so much rules as it is guidelines. I don't like a) first person narration³, b) couture, c) or um, things based in reality⁴.

( The Devil Wears Prada has all three. )

1 - I rarely say this about things, but that book could have greatly benefitted from some explicit guy on guy sexin'. More on this later.

2 - If the movie pulls the story off with half the grace implied, it will be an amazing movie.

3 - There are, of course, exceptions. But not many. Raymond Chandler and LKH and and Jacqueline Carey are the only ones I can think of off-hand that don't make me crazy. Meg Cabot only on recommendation from fox1013.

4 - Unless there's violence.

and hell, why not?

gacked from like, ten different people.

Ask Me My Fandom Opinion
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific,general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.
