I don't do chic romance novels.
According to good old Wiki' s definition of Chick Lit:
"The genre's creation was spurred on, if not exactly created, by Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole diaries"
I loooved Adrian Mole.
.... and must confess I also really liked Bridget Jones' Diary which I guess would fall directly under chic romance novels.

Its what the likes of Nick Hornby, and a few others are being catagorised under these days. Nick Lairds Utterly Monkey is also being classed as Lad lit.
basicly books predominanty written for men. (as chick lit is mainly written for women.)

Darn! I also like Nick Hornby... I'm confused now
I think Nick Hornby's books are great reads. High Fidlity was enjoyable. an old friend of mine (male) told me i wouldnt "get it" because it was a woman.

So, I'm going through the previous years' "Proposals" threads and I find this post which I thought would be very useful to shed some light on the "by genre" option and help doubtful voters.
Man there are a lot of genres to choose from.
Cyberpunk??? Space Opera??? Can anyone share the benefit of their sci-fi wisdom on these?
Bodice rippers!
