English Patient Sister Y: I really enjoy reading romance.
Friend: Umm, you have time for that?
English Patient Sister Y: Oh my gosh, what do you mean? You don’t have time to read the Bible?
Friend: (pause) Do you mean Romans?

This is my favorite post so far! hahaha!
ah ha!!
Apostle Paul does write about love, but that's in another letter and in a totally different context...
In Sister Y's defense, if you pronounce Romans as ro-MANs (not ro-MENs), it kind of sounds like romance.
Yaowzers! Who said this?
how are ro-MANs and ro-MENs pronounced differently?
Yang's comment is pretty awesome too.
haha... yea, it was pretty funny when we realized we totally missed each other on that...
"Romance" is also understood as a literary genre of high culture, characterized by a style of heroic prose and verse narrative that was popular in Early Modern Europe. They were usually inspirational stories about the marvelous adventures of a chivalrous, heroic knight on a quest. Perhaps Sister Y was putting forth the hypothesis that Paul's letter to the Romans fits into this category of literature?
Brother Y, you don't really men what you said, do you
