Bridget Jones’s Diary
question
If chick lit is 'dead', does that mean you're not reading it?

I keep hearing all these people say chick lit is 'dead'. Given the choice to read, however, I'd say I read at least 5 chick lit titles a year. Give me the fluff of Bridget Jones' Diary, the financial inanity of Rebecca Bloomwood in the Shopaholic series, I love it. I buy it.
Do you?
Or are we calling it something else these days?

I read an author's (Wish I could remember who!) take on being put into specific categories like chick lit, YA, NA, etc. Her point was that putting novels into categories like these limits the audience (boys vs. girls, adults vs. youth), so maybe the chick lit books are just being lumped in with the rest of fiction now?
Chick lit is not dead, simply, its authors are lacking writing skills. Have you ever tried "Sheila Levine is Dead - And Living in NY"? THAT was chick lit. Not that Candance Bushnell cr*p.
