Men don’t enjoy romance novels because the “romance” in them is work. The men are stupidly charming and say and do all the right things effortlessly. Real relationship building requires unsexy effort and compromise whereas these fantasy romance novels present the work as effortless, but any real man knows it’s a ****load of annoying ****ing work and ain’t nobody got time to fantasize about work.

Well I was castigated for calling Anne Rice a women's Gothic Romance novelist. So I wanted to give the background. I was not dismissing her. She's one the great modern authors. It is an excellent literary tradition which includes both Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley (
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus
).

Dude, true story, I tried to make a sock just now named Sookie Stackhouse and it says the name is already taken.
Great name though!
