Very true. Someone said something along the lines of "a boring book can't be a good book." I respectfully disagree! Tastes are a large part of it. The entertainment/video industry as well! I reckon more people had the patience to read through the descriptions of
Moby Dick before the big screen and instant gratification. Also, take a book like
The Picture of Dorian Gray. If you read it expecting a grand adventure story, you will be disappointed ("bored"). If you expect to discover some philosophical insights into human nature and the conflict of good and evil, you will be pleased.
