Accomplishment

I finally got my sister to read a novel.
She only reads books on computers and other work-related stuff. She thinks that novels are stupid; why read stories about things that are not true? I counter with, why watch movies or tv, the majority are stories about things that are not true.

I found a book of frothy chick lit at the local Joseph-Beth about an independent woman marrying into a family with a very domineering mother and how she deals with it. My sister is about to gain a quite overbearing mother-in-law so I figured of all the books out there, this might be one she can actually relate to right now, and she might even acquire some advice on dealing with this woman for the rest of her life.

I asked if she had read any of the book yet, and she said that she has already read nine chapters (I gave it to her on Sunday) and it is very easy to read and funny. Success! Now, what else is out there that might pique her interest? I must feed this fire; I never thought it would happen in the first place!
