You do not seem to be able to grasp that just because you think a book is not very good you cannot like reading it. Asprin, Anthony and similar authors are often mind candy. But mind candy is fun to read sometimes but that does not mean that you vote for mind candy for the Hugos.
See...to me, whether I like a book or not kind of defines whether or not I think it is a "good" book. How do you define a "good" book?
