I never read MandB growing up. Recently while I was cooped up in B'bay
recuperating unable to travel much, I had no recourse but to pick
some. The local library in Goregaon boasts an inexhaustible collection
of MandB and only that. So I did end up reading those. And for a while
wanted to write one myself, using same plot lines but bizarre
characters. And most importantly, the same language -- his sword found
its rightful place in the sheath types. :)
If you want kitschier romance and worse sex than M&B, all you have to do is
to read one or more regional magazines .. swathi in telugu for example, or
mangayar malar etc in tamil.
