Literature is a very easy thing to be snobby over, to point to and say "look what I read." Bleck. Anyone can read anything and it doesn't point to intelligence or morality or imagination or contribution to society. Total crap. BTW, and this is a BIG BTW, many congrats on your wonderful CAPA wins!

Why do we find it necessary to belittle ideas or perferences of others is beyond me. I feel sad that so many women feel they must hop on the "Man" bandwagon and write disparaging comments on those of us who love to read romance. I have read Shakespere, Tolstoy, Cubric, Hemingway, and many of the great literary talents of our age. I can honestly say that if an author has a unique voice I will read whatever they write and to be so "small" minded as to the genre that voice takes shows just how "little" this person is in her voice.

You just cannot stand up for feminine rights and equality and read erotic novels - doncha know that Lauren??!? I'm sure it's written in stone around here somewhere. Freakin' narrow-minded $%#%$%^!!.... walking off muttering angrily to self.... It’s that dang box syndrome again!

As if any one of us is so one dimensional that we only read one type of literature, eat one type of food or listen to one type of music. What are romances taking up too much room in teh bookstore and the only way to conatin it is to embarass and disrepsect the people who read them. This type of rant is makes me wonder if old Mareeen is maybe reading her romances in the closet. The lady doth protest too much methinks.
