I'm told that <i>The Secret Life of the American Teenager</i>, also on the ABC Family channel, has some 7H connection (maybe the producers? Whatever.) It totally makes sense--the shows have a lot of the same qualities, though SLAT has more (sadly off-camera) sex, always resulting in a pregnancy, of course. I hadn't quite realized that this sort of fare was the norm for the network, though it makes sense.<br /><br />Not that this is a post asking for recommendations, but: if you want distraction that will gently prod you to feel sharp and witty, I can't think of many better books that Max Beerbohm's <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Even-Now-Christmas-Garland/dp/B000OEBE2A/ref=sr_1_78?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1281435866&sr=1-78" rel="nofollow">And Even Now</a></i>. It's the total opposite of the mood you're in, but that's the point. Makes for excellent fall reading if you're not quite up to it now. The linked old paperback edition (with <i>A Christmas Garland</i> as a bonus) is durable and cheap.<br /><br />Or you could get really down and read some Philip Larkin.<br /><br />(Sort of awkward, but for what it's worth: this total stranger hopes you take care and feel better soon.)JLhttp://modernkicks.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077624495684601002.post-79178132748240369622010-08-09T17:27:43.372-04:002010-08-09T17:27:43.372-04:00try Good Poems for Hard Times, edited by Garrison ...try Good Poems for Hard Times, edited by Garrison Keillor.<br /><br />feel better!Aaronhttp://fatherfolk.comnoreply@blogger.com
