Query: another aspect of cultural studies?

i read this book in one sitting. yes, it can be a bit trashy, and yes, i felt a little guilty indulging in characters that SEEM shallow, but this novel is very thought-provoking at the same time. i actually enjoyed pondering 1980s urban teenage angst. what makes it any less important than another period or culture? anyway if you want to at least be entertained and sucked into a story, this is an excellent choice.
