From Wikepedia - "Chick lit" is a slightly uncomplimentary term used to denote popular fiction written for and marketed to young women ... the implication that the reader is likely to be the sort of clichéd and nonintellectual female who chews gum and avoids "serious literature".
I am currently reading a chick lit. Title is Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin. I just wanted to see if I will enjoy reading the book and conclude I am one of the nonintellectual females. (shhhh .. this may come as a surprise to those who already think I AM!)

The storyline is already heavy with cliché. An unattached 30 year old lady lawyer living and working in Manhattan ending up in bed with her best friend's fiance on the night of her 30th birthday. In her attempt to convince herself that it was just a one-night fling, she begins eye-opening realizations of what have been right in front of her for a long time. Lame. Lame. Lame! But I am getting to the middle of the book and I am enjoying it! Does this prove I am nonintellectual?? If enjoying a relaxing feel-good read makes me one, then count me in. I am buying more chick lit. Did you know that the male counterpart is called "dick lit"? THAT is something else =) and I am not buying!
