There ARE people that are all about the best sellers and I think they're literary snobs and quite close minded.
I'm quite picky in my selections of books. I don't pick it by the pitchman, but about the story and if possible, previous work. In the past, I've struggled to find something that intrigued me, but only recently picked up reading outside of the genre' I frequented (sci-fi, Fiction,humor) is when I things that entertained and expanded my overall view (Biographies, True Crime, Recent Events, political) sometimes a friend's taste doesn't mesh with yours. Don't take it as a personal insult, but acknowledge they have different tastes than yours.
