Not all of Oates' books are bad.  She's been considered for the Man Booker International and a Nobel and won a  bunch of lesser awards.  Her book Blonde (historical fiction about Marilyn Monroe)  was a finalist for the  Pulitzer back in 2001.   I've read only 2 or 3 and I wasn't too impressed.  I would kind of like to read Blonde.   She says she just has more stories to tell.  

I probably shouldn't have put that sig line on there - that was kind of rude - unnecessary.
