no, of course Lord of the Rings isn't fungible with a romance - but then, romance books within the genre aren't fungible either. If "any book will do" is true, then there wouldn't be so many review sites, recommending good books and dissing bad ones. Even within an author, books aren't fungible. The Witness by Nora Roberts isn't interchangable with "The Pagan Stone", also by Roberts. Each book is unique.
