Need help badly! PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 01/09/2009 06:25:00 PM
Hi, my name is Jim and I have a problem. I can't stop reading crappy romance novels. *hangs head in shame*

I used to bash the genre as it should be. Then about a year and a half ago I picked up one that my sister-in-law left on a visit. Did you know that these books are full of sex?! Wow were my eyes opened. I discovered that reading them with my wife led to lots of fun. Now I just can't stop reading them. At least the exercise is good for me.

So far this year I've read just over 32,000 pages. At least 25,000 of that is romance novels. I go to the library and find myself drawn back to the romances again and again. I just can't help it.

My son tried to force Stranger in a Strange Land into my hands in an intervention attempt. I'm sorry to say I rebuffed him.

What can I do? Is there any hope for me?
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?

Yeah, as Rebekah said, switching to good books that have romance might help. Legolas - 01/09/2009 06:47:55 PM 953 Views
