I don't consider an author's opinions when selecting a book. All I care about is whether the book is any good.
I've long since realised that people I'd consider nasty can still make great art - annoying but true
.
The real problem is when an author sledgehammers his views into the narrative to such an extent it spoils the effect (I found this with Philip Pullman's 'Dark Materials' books - I actually agree with his views, but got fed up being battered round the head by them).
