I think that this topic has gone way off track.
And I think that the broad consensus is that people are very different in what they read, what they look for in the things they read and what they get out of what they read.
It doesn't really matter whether you like to read Twilight or the Oxford English Dictionary, the fact is that you need the choice and you need to choose.
If you don't like a story, don't read it. If you like a story devour every word.
Reading is SO subjective. A writer could produce and absolute work of art, with every single word, every characterisation and every story arc, technically perfect. It could be moving enought to bring tears to the eyes and rich enough to let you 'see' every scene. BUT there will STILL be many many people who won't enjoy reading it. It's the way of the world guys.
Any discussion about something so subjective is bound to produce VASTLY differing opinions and every single one of them is valid to the person who owns it. Who are we to say who's right and who;s wrong when it comes to tastes and opinions.
Stop being defensive and go read a story.
