Captivating?

I'm reading a book that has been highly recommended to me from many women. i'm struggling with it. it may be that the book was too hyped or that i haven't read enough (i'm only into the 2nd chapter). i don't think i'm too good for the book. on the contrary i'm bumming that i'm not connecting with it.

sometimes i think something is wrong with me. let me change that...sometimes i think i'm missing something. i know that i'm a woman. i do women things (be warned...sweeping generalizations and a bit of sexism to follow). i have emotions...lots of them. i cry at mushy stuff. i like doing domestic things. i like raising my child and supporting my husband.

so why in the crap can't i enjoy this book?

I'd say just give it a chance...I found that it got better as it went along. I'll be interested to see what you think when you get into it a little more.

Hey Suzanne,
I'm reading that book right now and I love it but I totally admit that the first time I read the 1st chapter, I got absolutely nothing from it. Same with the second chapter. but then I met with a group of girls that were reading the book and the chapters seem to come to life - good god that was a cheezy thing to say, please forgive me. Anyway, I'm on chapter 3 and I'm really starting to get into it. I'm learning at ton but it was a slow start for me too.
