Thanks for this rant! I've had it often (usually just to myself) when people put down things I like to read. I'd like to think that most readers are smart enough to know when what they are reading was written with contempt - I've read books that I've felt were written this way - and while I've read books I didn't like, these books make me angry. That author needs to rethink why they are writing anything. Why would you write something you didn't even like?
Not to mention, how can you possibly get a feel for a genre or line by reading one book?
(I added you to my friends list - hope that's OK.)
