I loved Secret Life of Bees but, having read it, I definitely don't think of it as a girl's book. I don't know if that makes you more optimistic about it, but I hope so.

I think I am a snob according to the above definition - I have really enjoyed Proust's Remembrance of Things Past so far. I'm almost done with the last volume. Admitedly, I took breaks to read other books, but I still consider it a great work that I actually enjoyed.
