I, too, need to read. I've read some truly awful books just because they were the only thing in the house I was visiting.
This is how I got into The Babysitters Club.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

In college, this was how I ended up reading Sweet Valley High. One of my roommates had most of the series, I was desperate one weekend for a distraction, there wasn't anything else around and so I read all the ones she had on her shelf. (I sound like a junkie)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well, you just kind of hit a point where you want to know what happens, right? Like -- will NO ONE bitchslap Jessica?!? WHY does Elizabeth defend Jessica no matter how wrong she is???
And -- does Elizabeth, deep inside, regret NOT having sex with Bruce when she had amnesia???
(Yup, I read them, too. Up until whatshername -- the deaf girl who got un-deaf -- decided to do coke because she was mad at her boyfriend and then died because DRUGS ARE EVIL, KIDS!!!)

Same here.

I enjoyed them! I got a whole bunch more from the library. I'm not sure I realized that I was supposed to be embarrassed.

Actually, if you enjoyed them, then no reason you should be embarrassed, right?
I actually only read a couple of both those and SVH/U-- I had grown up reading Cherry Ames that I'd buy at garage sales and rather than the Babysitter's Club or SVH, I read the old line of Silhouette young adult romances.
Of course, I was also reading a lot of the regular Harl/Sil too. And getting Wifey confiscated on a regular basis in seventh grade.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have also read enema instructions, automotive manuals, cereal boxes and lots of bad books.
I do think the MSDS are the most boring, though.
Also, I love Cherry Ames!
