I think I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Francesca Lia Block, too. I really liked her books back when I was in high school and still do, but sometimes they’d irritate me a little. The characters being soo…ethereal and almost too innocent seeming. They’re definitely entertaining but sometimes a little roll eye inducing.

Good description, Sadako: “roll-eye-inducing.” Indeed! You know, I kind of resent it when an author’s personality or image begins to supersede his or her work and I worry that this might be happening with FLB. Wah!

Thanks, Amy. I haven’t really read any of her newer stuff, though I still want to…part of me still wants to know what’s happening with Weetzie Bat and all.

Plus I plan on recapping a few of her books on my own blog. Ah, nostalgia!
