Reply #71: Certainly less visceral than yours

[skygazer]

I read the first book and part of the second to try to figure out what the fuss was about. I also watched part of one of the movies. It wasn't something I particularly enjoyed - I thought the writing was fairly pedestrian and the plots pretty standard. Didn't engage my interest.

So I don't read them.

I'm not sure what you think you'll be contaminated with but I can't imagine why it matters to you what other people choose for entertainment. If you listen to any mainstream music, watch any network television or read virtually any bestseller of any genre, you're a consumer of mass produced entertainment products. Why are you judging people because they like a particular one? Particularly since you admit you've never read one.

Seems like a dreadful waste of time.
