Some people don't like olives on their pizza, either. I mean,
is it really so bad for someone to like a particular writer
more than another, and even formulate why one is better than
another? Life's not fair and all writers are not on an equal
playing field. Not even the same field, in most cases. And
playing different games.
They all did remarkably different things, too. These resonate
differently with different readers.
