Escaping from reality..!

Have you guys ever wondered why people read romance novels? Is it because of the sex that is described? Nope, it's not. As a reader, if you are reading the novel just for the "sex part", you might as well get a porn book to satisfy yourself, why romance novels?

I hate the face people give me when I say I read romance novels. I don't understand what is so wrong in reading a romance novel? You see guys, I don't know about others, but I read romance novels to escape myself from reality. Basically, I'm an escapist reader. I know that life is tough with full of ups ad downs in reality, and I'm ready to deal with it. It's nice to read books with survivors who go through many struggles and obstacles, but in the end they manage to overcome all of those problems because of they have love in their lives. It's also nice to read about people who make it through tough situations because they didn't give up on each other. It somehow gives you the hope when you go through situations like that. For example, some people read the horoscope column in the newspaper everyday without fail, why? It's because they believe in it. They are aware of the fact that it's not hundred percent true, but they just read it to satisfy themselves. The same thing applies to me when I read my romance novels. Another thing that I would like to share with you guys is that in a way, romance novels can teach how to become a better person. I sometimes relate myself to my romance novels. Unfortunately I was never the thin, slim, attractive whose size is zero and never puts on weight at all. I used to be very self-conscious and I get depressed over my weight a lot and I used to starve believing that I could lose weight. But obviously it didn't work out. That was when I started reading romance novels. So when I read novels and if the character of the heroine is similar to mine, I tend to put myself in her shoes. We all know that romance novels always have happy endings, so in a way by reading these novels it made me feel better. I was more confident with myself and my self-consciousness slowly started fading away. I began living a life for myself and I was least bothered about what people thought about me. 

So guys, what I would like to convey to you is that if you are a hardcore romance novel reader, keep reading. Do not stop. And to people who often get stressed up and needs a platform to escape yourself from reality sometimes, try reading romance novels. 

My obsession 

Now, if you can excuse me guys, I've got a novel to read :) Cheers!
