My "Outlander" thing
How a brainy guy like me wound up reading historical romance novels and loving them.
"But then I read "Outlander" straight through -- and then its gigantic sequel. And then the two gargantuan books after that one. I read them all -- four massive historical romance novels -- and found that San had been right all along: Whatever Gabaldon was aiming at in writing these weird, compelling books, it had nothing at all to do with simple genre fiction."
