I really must, with the greatest respect, disagree with you. Would you accept that there's such a thing as a bad book? (eg a book which is poorly-written). If one can objectively say that a book is bad, can one not also objectively say that a book is good? I believe one can. That's a different thing to saying that I personally enjoy a book: that is indeed a subjectively judgement.
