"I love romantic books even though I never read them"

I worked with a woman who was probably didn't have a romantic moment ever with her husband (he would tell her every morning at the breakfast table "you're so ugly I don't know why I ever married you."....and all she read was romance novels, she always bought new ones and had one with her for break and lunch.

@cherokeepatti: some people take comfort from the dream of it I think. Maybe that was her hope. I have a good many romance novels - they were my favorite when younger. I don't get from them now what I used to.

Haha, I wish it was what they meant

@MrMarcus: or maybe they are hoping the books will be made into movies, so they don't have to read them.

I agree, actually somebody said it. The only difference is that they said they loved scientific essays (even though they have never read any of them).

Yep, you get it :)
