I often see someone recommend a novel on here and others will instantly mention how much they hated it.

Maybe I'm just a simpleton, but I honestly cannot remember ever hating a novel. Even stupid YA books have their merits and I find them enjoyable. Even all the things I had to read for school... Every one of them was enjoyable in one way or another.

Maybe I'm just too stupid to be picky? It's just been my experience that if a novel is actually published it won't be terrible.

Is anyone else like this?

to kill a mocking bird is the only book I've ever hated

Maybe it's because you tend to only finish a novel if you enjoy it. So, in a way, every novel you've read was good. That's how it is for me anyways.

I disliked catcher in the rye and hated Haunted by chuck.
Ya has entertainment value I suppose, but it’s the literary equivalent of anime. Which is to say ultimately worthless except as a way to sublimate retards with emotional voids

Most books that become well known have something good about them. Maybe you are just very optimistic and see only the good things.

This.It means you appreciate art and and take something from it.You can never be “filtered” as lit says when someone doesn’t like a book that another anon does
