What I said was "It's very, very funny. The character says in the
excerpt that his mommy gave him Thomas Mann to read when he was 7 years
old." I didn't say that he read it at 7, did I?

What kind of mommy gives a child something he is incapable of dealing
with?

The website is indeed a hoot (did you figure out what "it's a hoot"
means between your two postings mentioning the word?). The excerpt may
reflect what is customary in romance-writing; I've never read a series
romance.
