Your statement here is extremely condescending.

I never stated that I don't read contemporary literature. I do.
I never stated that it's all 'derivative and watered-down', only that "too much" of it is.
Your criticism makes no sense.
Oh and by the way, you're talking to an huge Philip K. Dick fan here, so perhaps you should put your brush away. |
I think that –based upon the statement that I was replying to – my criticism makes perfect sense.
And you’re the one making broad generalizations about a large portion of the books being read by the general public.
