It was very easy to dismiss the entire genre and all the readers because they’re not reading something you think is good for them, like broccoli. Women buy books, and they buy them often. And they buy them sometimes by the bag full. And what’s wrong with that? I think we should all be able to read anything we want to read. Because when you think about the illiteracy rate in this country alone, every book read for pleasure is a miracle, a celebration. It’s glorious. And we have no right to demean someone’s choice of reading. Nora Roberts
