It is so weird what kind of stuff is inside some songs, that goes totally under the radar.

Follow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion

What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .

Excellent suggestion.

I always loved the Bartimaeus books from Jonathan Stroud.

I also think if pop culture catch-up is a concern you could read Twilight and Eragon both were quite influential in my social circle at the time they were new. I have read both and I liked them too. I don’t think that they are revolutionary or the best pice of writing but they had arguably an impact.
