Yes
I am when it comes to
my consumption of literature. I don't give a tinker's cuss what 'experts' think about anything. I'm not here on this earth to let other people tell me what is good or not, I'll make up my own mind. I love Kafka, Steinbeck, Plath, Chandler, Parker (Dorothy and Robert B) Dostoyevsky, Bradbury (Ray), Murakami, Yoshimoto, Abe, Brackett, Cheever, Ballard, McDonald (several of them)... and so on...
I find very little worth in Dickens, Austen, Shakespeare and the other stalwarts of bored and bearded (both men and women) secondary-school literary teachers and so-called 'experts'.
