How Romance Novels Almost Ruined My Marriage Everyone who knows me–even a little bit–knows that I love to read. My first word was book and I take a book with me wherever I go. So, what surprises people is not when they discover how much I read, but often when they learn what I read. I’m a college educated English literature major whose favorite authors are so classic they’re known by initials and last names only: Dante, Milton, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, and Shakespeare. But there has been a seedy underbelly to my reading habits as well: authors whose books are found in the checkout line at the grocery store instead of the college bookstore. Authors who aren’t really a part of the classic lit canon: Nora Roberts, Stephanie Laurens, Jude Devereaux, and Johanna Lindsey. Yes, it’s true–I have a history as a voracious romance novel reader. Harlequin romance novels. You know the ones: with the cover featuring a scantily clad lady and a Greek god slowly tearing her dress off her shoulder. At one point, I had 2 whole bookshelves (not 2 shelves of a bookshelf, 2 whole bookshelves) filled with romance novels. thecatholicrealist/2012/07/26/how-romance-novels-almost-ruined-my-marriage/
