Here's a book you might like- Junk Fiction: America's Obsession with Bestsellers <G>. I have rerad less than 100 pages, but the author seems to be a decent critic and is making his case well.
It definitely is NOT just about personal taste/preference. I think we can examine a work of art, whether it be a bookm, painting, or whatever- and determine if it is good or not, based on rational standards. This idea that the only judgement that can be passed on art is personal preference is wrong.
