Also, I would like to list an atrocity: my library has several books on how to write romance novels. I'm not talking about the well-written type, either.

I trust you have me in mind? It may be an interesting title, but a deceitful one as partial/orthodox preterists hold to a future Final Judgment/Second Coming/Ressurection and Rapture. I believe you are correct that "discussion of it would be ill advised," this is after all, not TheologyWeb.uc pseudonym wrote:That strikes me as an interesting title. However, allow me to warn that the issue is controversial, and discussion of it would be ill-advised.

Humorous ancedote: a well-known romance publisher would always publish primarily blue books with a circular picture in the center of the cover. Worried that readers could not tell so many books apart (they'd published dozens, after all), they published one romance novel with a green cover. It bombed nearly completely. Six months later, they published the same manuscript with a blue cover and it enjoyed record-challenging sales.
I'm reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov. It's a bizarre love story, but Nabokov is a literary genius..
