The main reason for my love of the book are the letters, I would say.

I must have formed the impression of what it was about from one of you. Unless Legolas is the culprit. There are a limited number of people who have been telling me to read it.
The romance aspect of that is a part of the reason why, but only a part - mostly I just love the way the letters are written. I agree with Rebekah in that I'm relatively indifferent about Roland and Maud, at least as far as their relationship goes. I found Christabel far more interesting than any of the contemporary female characters (or the male ones, for that matter).

Yes, I saw it more as a criticism (satire?) of obsessive academia than a love-story.

It's funny. I'd have to reread, but based on what I remember I have the opposite view.

It's a sign of it being a good book that you can like it for such different reasons from mine.
