I do not understand how anybody can think that.

Does not the difference between enjoyable fluff and mind blowingly good books have any meaning for you?
Ah...see, now you're getting into degrees of "goodness", which is a totally different thing. Of course some books are better than others, but I don't base that opinion on anything other than how much I liked it. Some books I will re-read, some I won't. The ones I will re-read are the ones that I liked better. For me, the most "mind blowingly good book" that I ever read is considered by many to be a hack piece by a hack author. There are also a few books that are considered by others to be "mind blowingly good books" that I consider to be unreadable garbage.
