I don't read much romances, but this one I have at home, too.
You mention The Thorn Birds -- I read it for the first time a couple of years ago because I was bored at our summerhouse and the book happened to be there. I was surprised that it has become so popular, I thought the main "love story" was kind of icky because essentially a grown up man chooses a small child and grooms her to be his, and nothing in this book is even hinting that there is something wrong with it. 😮
