I always have a book with me and am even "reading" in my car (audio cd). I hide the book covers from my kiddies only if there is a yummy guy or couple in front, but otherwise I proudly flash what I am reading. When derogatory comments are made I just say, "It's romance, it's delicious, and I'm happy." :lol: ;-) I’m with you Cassie. I always have a book with me and am even “reading” in my car (audio cd).

But it's great that both of you are suck avid readers :) Laurie – that is great! :) My hubby isn’t a big reader, but at least he’s never ashamed of what I read when I’m out with him anywhere…lol!

We read every where.( even out to dinner with each other). We never hide the covers or make excuses for what we read. Many people have commented on our reading and we just smile. There is always time to read and a good book to devour. My husband and I never travel anywhere without a book or two. We read every where.( even out to dinner with each other).

I really don't. Well, probably the covers back when started it. But it's such a fun genre of reading and inspires so much happiness and hope. And I've learned a ton of stuff reading romances novels. History. Forensics. It's not just fluff. People who hate romances probably haven't read a good one. I don’t know why there’s that stigma. I really don’t.

I totally agree. I always have a book with me wherever I go and like I said, the only time I've covered up my covers is when there are little ones around. I'm not ashamed of anything I read and don't think anyone else should be either. :) Reading = Good :) Anitra & Estella – Great comments, thanks! I totally agree.

Whoever is saying those things feels that way about themselves--they think they should be reading something else, or whatever. I'll read whatever strikes my interest and that's just about everything. I don't cover up my covers either--I've proudly read porn in the vet's office. It's no one's business but mine as to what I read. I've never had anyone comment, good or bad, about my reading choices and I think everyone should read everyday. As long as people are reading, I'm happy. :) Sounds like a case of projection.

A lot of people are very worried about perceptions. Julie - Wow! He's lucky you didn't punch him - you could've claimed you were still fuzzy from the meds! Anya, I think you’re right.

Julie – Wow! He’s lucky you didn’t punch him – you could’ve claimed you were still fuzzy from the meds!
