*grin* I'm not much of a romance reader either, for much the same reasons, but my friends are, or are writers. Through their influence I've become addicted to smartbitchestrashybooks.com like nobody's business. And. And. I can't resist when authors throw hissyfits. (Especially when they're authors who I consider to be, erm, influencing my chosen genre for the worst.) It's like cake for dinner.

And NO ONE sounds as crazy as this. MJD scares me even more than LKH, because she has this deluded eloquence thing going on.
