What’s wrong with a guy reading love novels?\u00a0 Today, I helped Pat clean up what’s left over from her garage sales.\u00a0 When I was bored, I picked up a copy of a pop Chinese love novel from one of her boxes of old books and start reading.\u00a0 The novel is written by a quite famous author in Hong Kong and I have read some of her novels before.\u00a0 Since I couldn’t finish the whole book this afternoon, I decided to take it home.\u00a0 Pat laughed at me that I am reading a girl’s book.\u00a0 I don’t think book can be separated into male or female.\u00a0 Books are just books, novels is just novels.\u00a0 Who says guys cannot read love novels?\u00a0 When I was in school, I read lots of books and novels, including my mother’s collection of love novels too.\u00a0 However, the way how the guys read love novels is quite different from the girl’s way.\u00a0 Girl may feel sympathy with whatever character in the novel, try to substitute herself into the book.\u00a0 When girls read, they feel the book.\u00a0 On the other hand, when guy read a love novel, all we care about is the plot and how scenes are played out.\u00a0 Does the plot make sense, are the descriptions well written, does the author build up enough support for the climax.\u00a0 When guys read, we analyze the book.\u00a0 If a guy reads a love novel and cry for the characters in the book, then he is a girly guy, he is abnormal.\u00a0 But if a guy, like me, reads a love novel, just trying to look into the mind of girls through the eyes of the author, then he is perfectly normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
