Im an emergency medicine doc. I only read romance. I don’t want to read sad things. I live sad things. I want my mindless spicy story. I call it Cotton Candy Reading because it’s fluffy and non-nutritious but is delicious and addictive.

Leave it to society to find a way to still call women who read for fun “not smart”

I call them “mind candy” lmao, I work as a funeral director and spend all day making decisions and holding other people’s grief, as well as seeing the worst things a person can see, so when I get home it is time for fae lords and the joy and hope of life.

Just remember that no ‘smart’ man is being harassed by people for liking sports or consuming genre fiction (fantasy/sci-fi) in their downtime. Their hobbies do not discredit their ‘brilliance.’ We need to stop doing this to each other.

Another reason: it’s so much healthier to have a bookish midlife crisis and go through a different *book* boyfriend a day, than the IRL midlife crisis cheating I’ve witnessed sone of my acquaintances ruin their irl families with!

I don’t read to seem smart - I read for enjoyment. You’ll often find people that read traditionally “smart” genres are entirely performative.
