Happy Reading!

Yay it's finally here! I love Kevin Smith! To the top of Mt TBR it goes for now but yay its here!

I loved reading Kevin Smith's honest truth here in this wonderful book. I loved discovering the reason why and how he became Silent Bob, the face behind the quirky and different movies I've loved. I'm boosted but also saddened that I'm not the only one who has had to put up with fat prejudice. Boosted because it makes me feel less alone. Usually (skinnier) people tell me I'm imagining it, and here Kevin Smith says 'yep it's true'. I'm saddened because when will fat-shaming stop? Yes, it is STILL the one society-allowable prejudice, but why is it still allowable? Racism and sexism are frowned upon, but not fat-shaming, and fat-shaming seems worse than ever.

On a more positive note: Ah, when he gave tribute to John Hughes for inspiring his work, I put my hand on my heart because he's been my inspiration through the work he left too. I loved John Hughe's work so much that it was going to be the basis of my MA thesis back in 1997 (It never happened because I quit doing a Postgrad degree that wasn't working for me. I'm a writer not a theorist). No wonder I'm a big-time fan of Mall Rats if Kevin Smith loved John Hughes too!
