i'm thinking...

So  I am on page 35 of my memoir.  I am not too far yet and I know I should be further, but I am having a hard time getting into it.  I'm into chapter 2, about part 6.  The first pages that I have read were interesting, yes, but I really like books that have a true plot and develop along the way. FGwP just doesn't have that bell going off in my head. This doesn't mean I am going to shut my mind and stop reading it, no no, I won't do that. I am going to keep an optimistic look on it and keep reading. 

  Here's a short summary of what i have read thus far: In chapter 1, Jean Godfrey June explains how she is not a beautiful person and that to her, inner beauty counts the most. She had always wondered why we all come from basically the same DNA and yet all look so different. Growing up as a child, she had a boys' short haircut and was often mistaken for a boy. This didn't help her self-confidence at all.    In chapter 2, it is a complete change from the first chapter. She talks about beauty and there is a short mention of her job as a beauty editor. One thing I enjoyed reading was that when her magazine would put horrendous rejects out for people to take, people would take them and they would be gone in an hour.  My favorite part of chapter 2 had to be when she talked about people in the corporate world and how they would turn into cannibals just for free stuff.

I'm off for now...I'll post again tomorrow!   Alex
