Ok, guys. I understand how reading a book that you find to be bad can't be enjoyable. So, why does it seem that if another person expresses enjoyment on reading said book, you then look down on the person or otherwise express disdain? Why not, instead, express dislike for said book and then suggest a book that you dean better. I've posted >>1493669 & >>1493716. The first received apparent disbelief. I enjoyed >>1493669 Immensely.
 
Now, as a child, I didn't learn to read until I was 5. My school didn't teach us (despite the fact that I had asked if we were going to learn how to read, to which they answered yes), eventually (at repeated request to my parents from me) my parents taught me. It took me 3 weeks to learn, with my first 200+ page 'novel' being read in 8 hours('novel' is debatable since the book in question was 1 Illustrated Classics: The Time Machine). I then over the next year read the entirety of the Illustrated Classics library. Need less to say I do love reading.

This has rambled on quite too much and I do apologize. Consequently, here is a summary; Why the apparent disdain?

This is not a troll and I do desire discussion and/or conversation.

Sorry, just want to make sure I have grasped your question

You are asking why people look down on others for liking books that they themselves dislike?

That is the point, yes.
