Novel Reading (think "soap operas" today)

"....the women of this class [those with an exaggerated concept of their qualities]
    have had their imaginations perverted by
* novel reading,
* daydreaming,
* and castle-building--living in an imaginary world.
They do not bring their own ideas down to the common, useful duties of life. They do not take up the life burdens which lie in their path and seek to make a happy, cheerful home for their husbands. 
 These women have a love-sick sentimentalism, constantly thinking they are not appreciated, that their husbands do not give them all the attention they deserve. They imagine themselves martyrs."
Testimonies For The Church vol.2,p.463 E.G.W.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
Romans 12:2
