I haven't really felt like updating lately (okay, so I've started a bunch of posts that have fallen flat, and then I've given up), but Tabitha just tagged "all the fun academic bloggers," and I risk being counted as "not fun," you know. I'll skip the "Guilty Pleasures in Booze" one, because the list would be "1. I'm a teetotaller; 2. And alcohol gives me migraines."
Guilty Pleasures Meme
Four Guilty Pleasures in Books/Reading:
1. Large quantities of L.M. Montgomery novels (not that they're not worthy for scholars to read, but it's mostly because I read them when I ought to be reading books in my own field).
2. A.A. Milne
3. Gordon Korman books (especially The Son of Interflux)
4. Most forms of celebrity gossip, barring actually reading tabloids.
Four Guilty Pleasures in Movies: (Only four? I have way more than four.)
1. Hello, Dolly!
2. You've Got Mail
3. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure/Bogus Journey
4. Mean Girls
Four Guilty Pleasures in Food:
1. Eating Nutella with a spoon straight out of the jar
2. Cool Ranch Chips, washed down with Dr. Pepper.
3. Huge quantities of Cheez Whiz on crackers
4. Black licorice
Four Guilty Pleasures in Music:
1. (How much do I love that Harry Belafonte was #1 on Tabitha's list?) Jewel
2. All of those musical soundtracks (Hello, Dolly!, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, West Side Story...)
3. Certain Avril Lavigne songs
4. Barbara Streisand. But only her early stuff.
Four Guilty Pleasures in TV:
1. Batman
2. Battlestar Galactica (the new one)
3. Corner Gas
4. The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

I just started reading Anne of Green Gables. I read the first three quite a few years ago but now want to read the whole series. My daughter LOVES them (how interesting I have to borrow them from my 9 year old daughter!)
Fun post.

Corner Gas got onto my "guilty pleasure" list because I live on the pretentious West Coast, where people look down on prairie things. I'm not really guilty about it. It just takes some explaining as to why we're so obsessed with it.
