Let me clarify what I meant about the journalists' views. My examples were meant to draw attention to the fact that the books he approves of are more left-wing, the kind that a Guardian journalist would enjoy. The example of the Culture novels illustrates this point, as Ian M. Banks, rest his soul, was in the same political camp as Eric Flint, and was a socialist. My issue was with dismissing all books that don't fit his political views as rubbish. John Scalzi is a left-wing liberal, but he specifically states that he enjoys reading Baen books, and if he was British he would probably be a Guardian reader.
