Yep. Even enjoying a book doesn't imply that. For example, I have to confess I have read a couple of more perverse books in the infamous Gor series and enjoyed them (though they'd never make my top 100 list). Does that mean I support the views those books express? Hell no. But I'm perfectly capable of enjoying fictional content I'd violently disagree with in real life.
