I also enjoy the good mystery. As long as men are the ones judging the writing of romance or mysteries that are written by dare I say women, the genre will not be taken as series. It also goes back to women not being taken serious in their contributions to the work world or society.

I find it so hard to believe that anyone could think less of genre reading. That goes for romance, too. I don't often read romance without a murder (hahaha) because I just like the mystery/crime element mixed in. My favorite books are probably historical, romantic, mystery/crime novels. I can't seem to help myself wanting there to be some pairing up of characters. And, the writing for all of these books is so exceptional. Literary fiction, whatever the heck that really is, has nothing on the writing skills of the mystery/crime/romance writers.

I would never want to be limited to one kind of cuisine my whole life, so why would I want to read only one kind of book? I agree with Gigi that the fact that romance is stereotypically associated with women is the reason it's seen as "lesser." Don't even get me started...;)Ingrid Thofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063912686011336076noreply@blogger.com
