The question is...

Are there books that even book lovers don't read? Books that some would say, "There's no way in #3LL that book(s) gonna end up on my shelf!!" ?


I'm not into romance/chic lit books. I doubt any guy is. Once a friend asked me to buy the Twilight series for her from an MPH book sale near my place. I said, "No problem". But when I was there picking up Stephenie Meyer's bestsellers, I said to myself, "Wait a minute. I'm standing here, alone, looking though romance novels. I sure hope no one sees me now!!"

Haha... it was a rather strange moment for me! :P

Is there any book(s) that you don't read?
