Lol, sounds very recognizable. I read just about anything too (including instructions on shampoo bottles).

I used to read only horror stories (big fan of the old work of Stephen King), but a couple of years ago, someone gave me a tip about a series of books: 'Earth's Children' by Jean M. Auel. This person mentioned it was a series of prehistorical fiction novels, which turned me off completely.

But hearing other people's opinions, I got curious. So I decided to give it a try - although prehistorical fiction is (was) not really my cup of tea.
I started reading 'The Clan of the Cave Bear', and before I was even halfway through, I knew that it had been such a mistake to get turned off initially. I read all 5 first books in no time, then had to wait 10 years for number 6 to be published. Read it, and fell completely in love again, so I started over, lol.

That taught me that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover (or theme). Ever since, I've been more open-minded about potentially good books.

It would have been such a shame if I had missed out on this awesome series, only because I had prejudice.
