This is also sort of on topic, and rather well-done...

Very well done.
The Revolution begins...

Up the revolution!
But it is hard sometimes to know whether it's simply because you're not on the same wavelength. For me it was Virginia Woolf at school. I just didn't get it.

I will personally go on record as finding Virginia Woolf unreadable. As with Laurence Durrell and Henry Miller.
There are difficult writers - like Joseph Conrad - who are worth the effort. And others I just don't think are.
But you're right. De gustibus, etc...I shouldn't tell people I think Kingsley Amis is overrated, when somebody once told me his works changed his life...
Just because I like his son Martin's writing better.

Well, yes. There are even people out there who adore Kenneth Branagh!

I like Terry Prachett. And I gave up on Ulysees (the James Joyce version).
I don't mind not being an in-ter-lekt-uel!
