But you don't need an excuse. Not everyone will enjoy every book (but please don't knock silly nonsense just because it's not your sort of silly nonsense  ). Join us next round to nominate something more to your tastes.  |
My intent was not to disparage anyone's taste (your take that I have my own types of silly nonsense is of course correct). I should have chosen my wording more carefully (was struggling on mobile in landscape).
I know my lack of appreciation for fantasy that involves any superpowers is extreme. I've been trying to figure out why, and age seems to fit the best.
I also don't appreciate what seems to me to be a lack of craft, in that it appears to be too easy for authors to just make up crazy stuff to get out of any bad situation. "You think I wrote that post above? That wasn't me, it was my best friend the all-password-knowing goat!" Seems too easy.
