I agree with this. I guess this is why I don't mind downloading a book that looks good, and either thinking wow, or partway through, thinking, ugh.

I like being the one to decide.

There are a fair number of favorites I share with culture at large (classics such as Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables), but it's my own personal experience that either is drawn into a book or repulsed by it (or feel a book is ok but mediocre).

Each author is as unique as each reader. And certain stories resonate with me personally, well, because I am me.
