I have given up on my Husband.  He hates fantasy, hates sci fi, hates 
Buffy.  Will not read HP.  Again, when he has time to read, which 
isn't often, he prefers John le Carre and others of that ilk.  I 
managed to get him to read Captain Corelli, but that was after months 
of persuasion and he didn't cry and become emotionally involved as I 
did.  Why did I marry him ?
