The Betsy
By Marisa | March 25, 2007
Oh, wow! I found a book online today that brought back so many memories. I’m just not sure I should admit this. Okay, but let’s keep it a secret, okay?
When I was younger (like high school age) I got hooked on Harold Robbins novels. My mom called them “trash” but I didn’t care. I loved them! Robbins took me around the world, from Hollywood mansions or New York penthouses to Villas in Italy. I’d stay awake all night reading, anxious for the next adventure or shocking revelation.
When I ran across a copy of The Betsy tonight I almost ordered it. That was the first Harold Robbins book I ever read. But I didn’t order it. My memory of Robbins’ novels are so perfect that I’d rather not read them now as an adult only to find out that I don’t enjoy them as much now. Maybe that’s crazy. Maybe I’ll go back and get the book tomorrow. Maybe.

I remember reading The Betsy… I haven’t thought about Harold Robbins in years, hehe… I really should get back into reading but I know I won’t as long as I have the interned and blogs to read… I guess that’s reading though, right?
Yep, it’s reading. But I’m really itching for a good “trashy” novel right now. Maybe I’ll pick up that book after all.
