I don't read them either, but I did once read a Danielle Steel book BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 23/09/2010 11:51:52 PM
When I first saw this, I didn't really think it applied to me. I read a wide variety of things and never considered anything to be outside my comfort zone.

However, today's quickpoll has inspired me. I can't recall ever actually reading a romance novel.

So please feel free to suggest one to me, preferably one that I won't hate too much. :P

I was curious and quite bored at the time :P

Anyway, it was quite different and I had a bit of a laugh. I did finish it cover to cover, no problem. If you're curious and have never read one, why not try one of her works? I'm guessing pretty much any random choice will do the trick. I don't even remember the title of what I read.
