Some may be have a need to be a savior. Torturing themselves to protect others from the depredations of those horrendous books.

There are a plethora of reasons why folks might be doing this. Or maybe they're just nuts.
Well, that makes it me and you.

I think they would be nuts reading many entire books just for the first reason. Anger and adrenaline are emotional sprints. Masochism has staying power, as does the smugness I originally suggested. See, it _is_ interesting, isn't it?

Besides, if you don't have time to consider other peoples' behaviour, do you have time for reading fiction?
