You do seem offended by others' opinions about certain books, though. I think that's your issue, and you're unlikely to convince people that popularity means a book can't be badly written. Opinions are just that. Yours is just as subjective as everyone else's.

Offended by others' opinions? No. By opinions expressed as fact ... well, yes, I guess so. A serious question regarding my understanding: I read this "managed to enjoy books despite poor writing" as meaning that the person believes the book had poor writing (fact), but they enjoyed it anyway (opinion). Is my understanding incorrect?
