This is just for grown-ups. Are any of you big Molly Ringwald fans like me? She was my idol in middle school and I have a soft spot for all her teen movies and all the other movies with those same actors that came out at the same time. John Cusack is another one whose movies I love. Say Anything was the start of my crush. In spite of the horrific cover, which my husband actually pointed out to me is a pretty good illustration of what movie posters were like back then, I highly recommend You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried: The Brat Pack, John Hughes, and Their Impact on a Generation, by Susannah Gora. I couldn't put it down. It is a long book with small type and no pictures, but I finished it in 3 days. If you want all the behind-the scenes details of the making of all those movies and want to know what those stars have been up to, you have to read this book!

For all you Brat Pack fans...
