I love reading romance novels.
My friend (a very cynical one) thinks it's a waste of time. But a girl can dream can't she. *shrugs*
Anyway, i enjoy reading medieval / historical romances. I especially love those with a Scottish setting and alpha males.
What about you?

the type of book that i read are typically history books about a certain time in history or biographies of either famous people or not so famous people. now i am reading about a hungarian jew who survived in war torn hungary from the nazis only to have the communists take over hungary after the war. since my background is hungarian, i find this very interesting.

i tend to not pick up such books because i think about them and then i get nightmares of the horrors and all...
history and war was never my favourite.. and so i salute those who can take the gory description and all..

It is the same for me. Reading romance novel can be very entertaining too. I also like motivational books, science fiction and instruction guidebook. There's a lot of thing that I learn from many books, and because of that I feel really happy.

I read almost everything. History, science, philosophy, novels, magazines, newspapers (three every day), blogs. Is it a waste of time? I suppose it could be viewed that way. I don't care. I like it and I will continue to do it.

I would say your reading is not a waste of time, even romance novels. When I read a variety of books I find that I can learn a lot from the characters and life situations in the novels. In addition, by experiencing the lives in the book, I am caused to think about my own life in a new way. We can better understand ourselves as we have opportunity to compare our lives with other situations.
Happy Reading!

hi,i like to read books,i often read kinds of books ,such as novels ,classic reasdings,campus reading,finacial reading, somes books on computers ,and other books .i am so interested in history that i often seek some historic secrets,and the history will bring us some enlightment and lesson.it really happpened and have modern meaning,apart from that ,classic books are my favorite readings,it includes many minds thought by ancidents,whose minds are beyond our imagination,i often feel out of life when read the classic books,some times i will read modern books to help me pace with the social development.maybe i read too few books ,but i will read them to the end..

I don't think it's stupid that you read romance novels. If those are the kind of books you enjoy then keep it up. I really don't know the kinds of books I like to read. I like comedy, I really like the Twilight series, I just don't know. I'm actually going to use this blog to my advantage to ask all you mylotters out there to give me some suggestions! I'm open to anything (yes, even romance novels ;-) ) so give me some titles that you've enjoyed. I'm trying to build up my library! Thanks! :-D
