Do YOU Read Romance Novels?
Go vote! There's a poll up at the Today Show asking if people read them. There are way too many, "No way. I don't touch those books," answers.
And man, that really ticks me off. Not that people don't read them…people can read what they want. I hate the tone. I hate the attitude behind it. I can't stand it when people look down on romance, because when it comes down to it, EVERYTHING in this world is about love. From the moment we hit puberty, what are we ultimately after? A mate. Oh, yes, there are people who don't want to ever settle down, but when it comes down to it, they are few and far between.
And watch pretty much any movie. What's the subplot? A romance. And books written by men…even thrillers? Check out the subplots. Romance.
So why in the world are books about romance so looked down on, when pretty much everyone does, at some point, fall in love?
Grr.
Yes, I try not to let people who look down on romance bother me, and for the most part, I ignore the attitude. But every once in a while it hits me how people who have never read one criticize them.
So anyway, go vote! Let's show those No Ways a thing or two! 
And, yeah, the tone really sucks.
