Astra, I never ever take it personally if someone hates my favorites because it cuts both ways. People seem to appreciate different literature and it does not always have any bearing on intellect or other definable characteristics. I do try to listen more to critics whose tastes match mine but I can only learn that by trial and error. Sometimes excruciating error.
Okay, curiousity question. Did you ever read Tim Powers' "Last Call?" Did you like it? I ask because it felt a lot (to me) like American Gods.
