Yes there are some types I hate and would rather people didn't read (Dan Brown springs to mind), but honestly, if it gets people reading and leads on to reading more interesting, better written, more life enhancing books, then what the hell ? No one should <B>ever</B> be discouraged from reading *anything*, but you can always encourage someone to read something better or different !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
