The romance genre is the genre that I like the least. It appeals more to the feminine side of many, rather than at the masculine side. The themes that I found most prevelant in the romance movies and books that I have read or viewed were social barriers between the couple, some tear-jerking, sappy moment when everything is perfect for the characters, and an injury or illness in some of the most recent romance movies.
I found this list of the top 100 romance novels preferred by readers on the website www.theromancereader.com. There are such classics on this list as "Gone With the Wind" and "Pride and Prejudice". I have read "Pride and Prejudice" and frankly I found it to be a boring book, maybe that's because I am a male and find romance novels a waste of my time, but I don't know for sure.
Many of the author's names are repeated numerous times, as they seemingly have a knack for the romance genre.
I am also posting two links besides the highlighted one.
