I knew this would lead to a bit of misrepresentation but I stick with what I said.

If people want to read JK Rowling and Dan Brown... well fair enough. My problem is if that is all they read. People see that as being all it requires to be a reader. I am saying that if people actually were as adventurous in their reading habits as they maybe are in their film watching habits they might actually read something that meant more to them than what happens to Harry in the next volume. Do you see my point? I am saying read about something that has not been hyped. Be different. Find out what happens to Pip in Great Expectations. Be concerned about Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty Four. Wonder how the human race can survive when you read The Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham.

Also, I love Stephen King. He is a proper writer. So don't presume that I think his stuff is crap. I don't.
