Paul Rudd Reads From Romance Novels; Hilarity Ensues
Harlequin (as in romance novels) is turning 60 this year, and ABC's Nightline celebrated their anniversary by asking famous people (including the always awesome Paul Rudd) to read from some of the novels. The video won't embed, so check it out here.

In middle school, I had a friend who was obsessed with Harlequins . . . and according to Facebook, she still reads them religiously! I think they're a little campy for my taste, but to each her own.

Do you read romance novels or erotica?

As a hopeless romantic, I stick with romance novels. It's okay, my friends make fun of me, too. =]

I read some romance novels, but I'm way too picky about the type I'll read.

LOL! IT'S A FABIAN WIN!
I don't read romance novels very much and definitely not erotica. I've read a few fairly tame romance novels but they tend to frustrate me. Usually I end up wanting to shake the main characters and say, "Communicate, idiots, and your apparently insurmountable problems will all be solved! Seriously!"

Once, in the library, with a friend. He pulled a book off the shelf and promised me there was... intimacy... on every page. Sure enough, two sentences were enough for me to walk away blushing.
He's done it before too, some video floating around on YouTube...

I read modern romance stories, not the Fabio ones. I like to read about real lives and their love life as part of any other part of their lives. It doesn't always end up happily ever after but that's how I like it cuz it'll seem real.

That video clip was hilarious. I read a little of both. Depends on the book I pick up.

I don't know Harlequin/Paul Rudd, but I have come across some semi-romance type novels when I got into reading a mythical fantasy series. Other than that, I'm not into them.
