I also think sardines on pizza is gross, but I have nothing against people who enjoy it. I don't see how this is any different. You like something I don't. Yippee. We've discovered that people sometimes have different opinions and tastes. Is it really that strange to you that I can accept that somebody likes something I don't without thinking less of that person? It's really not that difficult - it's not like people's taste in books in any way reflects their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. It has no significant bearing on who one is as a person, and therefore, whether I also like it or not has no significant bearing on what I think of that person.

If you like it, if you find it deep and sincere, if it means something to you - good for you. For me, I like genre fiction. Genre fiction means something to me, too. Now you can go read your books, and I'll go read mine, and everything will be a-okay.

Nothing you said here is wrong. I don't disagree with it in anyway. It's all great. If all your posts were like this, no one would give a shit.

The problem is that I don't see how you can think this, and also think that the only reason someone would read Brothers Karamazov is because it makes them look smart. If you think that - and you do think that, because you said it, you said that you don't want to read Brothers Karamazov because you don't want to look smart - then that means that everyone who reads Brothers Karamazov and books like it read them only to look smart. And that is a negative value judgment to place on someone. You're the one who's refusing to acknowledge that people have different tastes.

If you really think that one's taste in books has no bearing on one's attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors, why did you talk about literary books like the only reason people read them is to seem smart. If you really think that people can have different tastes, why did you say all literary books are pretentious, instead of just saying that you don't like them. If you don't think any of that, why the hell have you consistently acted as though you have.
