Argh, just joining in here. I'm reading the 'Alphabet Series' by Sue Grafton, which are sort of female PI murder/Bad Thing thrillers. And you know, I'd like them a LOT MORE if the narrator didn't keep saying things like "She was blonde, about 50 pounds heavier than me, and I bet myself she had her waistband undone underneath her long top." OH THE HORROR OF THE UNFASTENED WAISTBAND! SAVE ME!
ETA Erm, sheepishly edited to add that whilst I can critique this in books and don't actually NOTICE the weight of people I meet, I am Just As Bad personally as all these women. Worse, in fact, because I *know* I'm being an idiot and yet still go on being the same old idiot.
