In other words, any book could be judged and marked as a point <I>anywhere</I> on such a graph. For me there is no correlation, implied or real, between genre and quality. The only thing genre seems to do is to constrain the type of plot/story/setting that gets written.<BR/><BR/>Snubbing books because of their genre is therefore bad logic and wrong. Snub a book because it's badly written, or you just plain didn't like it; not because of which shelf it came from in the shop.<BR/><BR/>Yours, happy-to-walk-around-with-a-pink-book,<BR/>CB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-31802456305128892902008-06-18T10:15:00.000+01:002008-06-18T10:15:00.000+01:00Oh!
