And to put the record straight, I read the first page of HP1 (whoops); did not like it.
I read the first two chapters of War and Peace, again I didn't like it....

But Hey, others do/did....let them enjoy....

I'll read what I want to without anyone saying otherwise....

You must admit, Geoff, that Glasgow city centre after an "Old Firm" match does bear a remarkable resemblance to Baghdad .

No because you have stated that you think it's crap. It's implict therefore that this is your opinion vs you stating that its a fact that no-one can deny.

Do you see the difference there?

We all read a lot here. Whether a book is bad or good is subjective. WE all know that. So, I would not take anyone's opinion on a book or "blanket statement" as a personal insult. but that is me. To each his own.

No disrespect to you, but if you're not a native English-speaker, you may perhaps not appreciate the enormous difference between the meaning of those two statements. The first is expressing a personal preference - nobody would argue with that. The second is stating an absolute fact about the value of them, and that's insulting.
Harry T. I like most of your comments. Yes I am a Native English Speaker. But... to each their own on the argument in this thread. Off to drink a pint and read on my Gen3...with my cover intact...

*ducks and hides under his desk and waits for the fireworks*

Don't accuse a Scot of being British... It's akin to acusing a Turkish Cypriot of being Greek.

Er, the Scots are British. As are the Welsh and the English, too. Technically, I don't think that the Northern Irish are - Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom, but not part of Great Britain.

Exactly stepanok...

Harry, you are utterly correct. However when working for a certain Scottish Telco and making a very similar comment I was disabused of this idea by several vociferous Scots. At length & then reminded on a regular basis for several months following. :-)

Football is an international sport. How many of the first team players for, say, Panathinaikos, are Greek?
