Too many books, too little time.

Exactly. I've read a lot of bad books over the years I guess, but I usually don't finish them. I've read way more books I like, because I know what I like and I look for those types of books. I'm picky.
Also, I don't think I've ever hated a movie I've gone to see in theaters, either, because I can usually "read between the lines" of the advertising and tell if it'll be good or not.
