There are niggers in India who love eating turds. Why would I care that in spiritual matters you are an Indian nigger? Continue eating shit in your slop pen you fucking animal. Some day when the time is right your worthless waste of a life will be cleansed from the earth with the rest of the filth.

I think it's unfair to put Stephen King in with those other two. I have trouble reading King, but he's still 20 times better than Dan Brown and James Patterson.

Of the three mentioned, Stephen King is the only one to possess any talent whatsoever. He'll also be the only one people will remember a century from now. Some people do not like him because many others do; some people will not read him simply because of his political outlook; some people do not enjoy him because, much like with anyone else, they do not care for his body of work. If you have chosen not to like Stephen King for any reason prior to the latter then you haven't any grounds to hold an opinion upon.

/lit/ has always mistreated notable authors merely for the sake of being contrarian, but I wonder how many of those same people have ever actually read 50+ pages into any given book (or several books at that [to behold the consistencies in said writer's presence]) by an author they allegedly despise. Even then, I myself cannot contribute the time necessary to despise someone simply because their work did not resonate within me.

Inverse question: does liking things that aren't popular make you interesting? I'm leaning no.

/lit/ is not a place of literary consumption. It is a place of violent literary criticism and commentary.

Hating something does not make us interesting, but the assumption that it makes our voices valuable is fundamental to the notion of this board. If our howling into the wind, conflict based on ideation and happenstance, has no meaning, then why are we hear?

We are critics. Let us, at least, make good criticism.

Personally I like Stephen King, though I’ve only read Misery. Haven’t read James Patterson or Dan Brown, so I can’t really form an informed opinion on them. However, I’d say people that hate Stephen King (at least on this board) are likely doing it because of that popular-fiction label he’s slapped with. The interesting thing about Misery is that through Paul Sheldon he relates a lot about his own experience as writer.
