We will just have to agree to disagree.

And this book struck a lot of those same nerves.
Then I think you would love "Outlander". I'll re-read it and discuss it with you, if you need incentive to try it. It's a much more modern book and definitely a romance. I agree with you about "nothing but fun reading!"

the mindless pursuit of shallow fun is the plague of our days. It's like some cocaine addict having a hell of a time for literally nothing...

Agreed. Why does something that requires some work automatically equate to not being pleasurable? Its work for me to read translated works or older works of fiction, but the knowledge and perspective I gain make them extremely pleasurable.

After all, there are other more, er, adult pursuits a number of us participate in, and putting a little work into those is never looked down on... Clearly this is a generational or someting-ational gap I'll just never get.

Actually, I think DixieGal would dislike Outlander. This is of course based on what I've seen posted about books she likes and dislikes.

It's the 21st - so, BOb, where's the discussion thread?
