Also, I read fluff, trash, whatever you want to call it, as well as more so called 'worthy' books. As far as I am concerned, fluff books are worth something, they got me to start reading! I am not ashamed to admit that my first real forays into reading for pleasure were V.C. Andrews novels. While not exactly literature, they got me to read, and to do it voluntarily, so that means that to me, any book that gives me pleasure has its own intrinsic value! So while you may watch the O.C., I read fluff for something to captivate my mind, and maybe even learn something new, cause I will be a monkey's uncle if those historical romance author's don't put some serious time and effort into making sure that their facts are correct, even if they do take some poetic license with them (and they always notate when they do that!).
