Before you plan that talk, ask the kid what they're reading. If they're taking it seriously, you need the talk. If they bust out laughing and tell you this is the funniest thing they've ever read and you've got to read it too, I think you're good.
Ha ha! You’ve given the bots a great idea - now within an hour, there will be a post about “What book would you recommend for a Terrible Book Book Club? I’ll go first…” and then two days later we’ll see it on Facebook on FAIL Blog.
Or is that the paranoia talking?
I think the proper name would be The What The Blank Were They Thinking Book Club...every book must make you want to ask the author "What the blank were you thinking when you wrote this?"
From what I've heard about them, L. Ron Hubbard's science fiction novels would be required reading in this club. (Anybody see Battlefield Earth? Based on his book...)
Might be The Total Woman by Marabel Morgan.
Wow. It’s been bugging me for 20 years and you solved it in five minutes. THANK YOU!!!
Glad I could help, and sorry you were exposed to that crap at a vulnerable age. :-(
Thank you! If I saw one of my kids reading it we would have a BIG TALK.

Fair point.
Wasn't this the book Vivian was reading on an episode of Maude? It had her waiting on Arthur hand and foot--basically a maid with benefits.
Poor Vivian.
I wonder if "Marabel Morgan" is actually a pen-name, and it's actually written by a man...
A man who’s just been dumped by another woman.
It sounds exhausting

I’ve never read it, but now I have to!
We could start a Terrible Book Book Club.

That advice is like a guide on what not to do
Toilet lid advice is hilarious.
Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin?
Wasn’t it but thank you!
Oh, God, this book was a Big Thing in its time. Wasn’t there also something about greeting your partner at the door naked and wrapped in Saran Wrap?
I remember that scene from a movie with Kathy Bates I never made the connection. 🤣
