So here's what's going on this week in book news: people are way over the new Shakespeare play discovery because honestly, probably no one cared in the first place. They just acted like they did because it seemed like the right thing to do. If someone told you they were reading it, it was a lie. In reality, this news only mattered to comp lit/theater double majors, and the three of them aren't real people anyway.In more important literary hearsay, Scholastic book publisher is in the midst of re-releasing the 90's classic, "The Babysitters Club." Which, seems awesome until you remember that this was the book that tricked you into thinking babysitting was cool... Then you tried it, and learned the word "fiction" actually means "a huge fucking lie."
It also made you think babysitting would help you get friends. Yet another piece of "fiction" because there you were watching music videos on a stranger's couch while all your friends were learning to play flip cup in Dan Poutas' basement. That's what I call making a memory. Now, when you play in college and suck, people mock you saying, "did you even go to high school?" Ughhh.
Not to mention the first book is titled "Kristi's Great Idea." 1) These characters were supposed to be role models for young girls. The fact that she's Kristi with an I, indicates she is destined to be a huge slutbag. 2). "Great" is an adjective we were always taught to thesaurus, and 3) what a terrible business plan the club really was. They definitely should have made a SWOT analysis first...
