LOL! I think we've all that feeling. Mostly unjustified.
I think it's more that no book has been universally liked, just as none has been universally disliked. Speaking personally, of all our selections while I've naturally enough liked some more than others, I've thought virtually all were worth reading and that even the possible single exception was justified by a good discussion. In any case, I think a book where we were all agreed on its merits wouldn't lend itself to much of a conversation. But it's also true that individual tastes are more congruent with some than with others.
Along those lines, I'll note that a book I was considering for the current nominations got five stars from you at Goodreads (which is why I abandoned it; I like to avoid rereads when I can).
