Until I started using cloth book covers on my paperbacks, people would ask what I'm reading, take a look at the cover and do the whole Groucho Marx up and down eyebrow thing. It was annoying. Although, thankfully, in recent years publishers have started putting less titillating (pun intended ) covers on romance novels.
my Aunt call them "puff and pant" novels, which is pretty funny but not as funny as my daughter who misunderstood and thinks thier called "puffy pants" novels (which kinda fits to)
