I should point out something: what I meant was that, mediocre people tend to like mediocre things, and as a general rule, if I avoid what mediocre people like, I avoid bad purchases and disappointments. However, it's just a general rule and there are exceptions: sometimes mediocre people like quality things and vice versa.
That is to say, I didn't mean to offend whoever likes Harry Potter by my comment. It's just that, so many idiots seem to find it good that I can't believe it could actually *be* good. Maybe I should give it a whirl, but I have so many great books I'm dying to start reading lined up on my (virtual) shelf that I'd sooner start reading those before HP.
So many books, so little time eh
