I Have No Excuse

It's true. I'm reading yet another Patricia Cornwell novel in which the central character is Kay Scarpetta. I've tried to avoid these books because, well, for one thing they are so badly written I'm ashamed to admit that I read them. But come on. Kay Scarpetta needs me.
Perhaps I can find a Twelve Step group to help me move beyond this pathetic pleasure. Or if I wait awhile longer I'm sure I can take a medication to ease if not wipe out my unquenchable desire to follow the exploits of the good doctor.
In the meantime, when you speak of this -- and you will -- try to be kind.

Hard to be kind---that series has deteriorated so badly I skip right over Cornwell's name when looking for books in the library. You can do much better and hold your head up high among murder mystery fans. Take a look at: www.stopyourekillingme.com/index.html
In the meantime, if you need a more stimulating and fulfilling better addiction--perhaps try watching infomercials.

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. Infomercials can be quite fascinating.
