Poor Jennifer Garner. She has all kinds of promise going for her. You can totally see her as that slightly goofy band girl in high school who dreams of one day being an actress, and she’s made it. She was in Dude, Where’s my Car, she got to play Elektra, and plus, you know, she’s willing to wear all kinds of revealing clothing on a geeky action show. That has to count for something.

But now I’m starting to worry for her. First she joined up with Affleck to create Bennifer II: The Return, and then she did 13 Going on 30, which was lame going on crap. Her spinoff flick Elektra released this past weekend, but to less than stellar reviews. And now, on her iTunes celebrity playlist… well, let’s just say she doesn’t quite come off as a skilled wordsmith.

And then, out of nowhere, she emails me some book reviews.

Soldier’s Pay:

“This is his first book! And it’s so good!! I think being a soldier must be really tough.”

The Sound and The Fury:

“This one was kind of sad, but it’s really good! Poor Compsons!!”

As I Lay Dying:

“This is one of my favorites so I just had to include it!! Great book!”

Light In August:

“Faulker is such a terrific author. I felt like it really was August!! Good book!”

Absalom, Absalom!:

“This is totally Faulkner’s masterpiece. It really gets me going! And the video is awesome!!”

The Mansion:

“After reading this, I’m ready to get moving!! This is the final novel of the Snopes trilogy, and harshly documents the downfall of this unconquerable post-bellum family! So awesome!!!”

Requiem for a Nun:

“I went to an audition to play a nun once. I didn’t get the part!! This novel is terrific. Faulkner is so talented!!”
