I like ABBA.

I also like Shakespeare, Marlowe, and "Doc" Smith. I keep Michael Chabon with comic books. I read and enjoy all sorts of things; some literary, some extremely pulpy. I give my seven-year-old daughter comic books, because she likes to read them, and I believe the most important thing is to get her to enjoy reading.

I think honest pulp is better than literary fiction that's written out of pure snobbery.

So yes, I think all reading is good. Some reading may be better than other reading, but it's all better than not reading. And different things may be better for different people.
