I cannot read those kind of books. I am also a heavy person, and wear glasses, and am Jewish, and the child of a brainiac family. Few if any romance characters share any of those characteristics. ANd they also do/think about such boring things.
I also cannot talk with most of my daughter's classmates' mothers - they find those books and those topics fascinating. This has bothered me a lot less since I started my LJ, and met other women with kids who read primarily SF&F, manga, and maybe mysteries and historical fiction (not historical romance). But it was really rough for a while.
