Nobody's suggesting there aren't writers out there who are "better" than other writers. Of course there are. The question is whether or not Reader A has a pot to piss in when looking down their nose at what Reader B likes to read. Great writing doesn't always make great reading. And there's just no pressing need for readers the world over to all point at the exact same books/authors and say; "that's great stuff right there." There's plenty of room for those looking for enlightenment through the written word and those just looking to be told a ripping good yarn. In all our anti-anti-snobbery, let's not lose sight of the fact that not all readers are even slightly concerned about what's being left behind for posterity (at least not with every single book they choose to read).
