Like I said, I totally understand WHY they do it. I just don't enjoy it. Which is why, even thought something like Atonement is probably hands down a better books then say, "The highlander's bride" or whatever romance novel happens to be laying in my house, I'll read the romance novel over Atonement.

I read, and watch to escape. I don't want to be made miserable.

I don't care if it was her intent (And I'm sure she did), I still didn't enjoy it.
