I can count the number of non-fiction books I have on one hand. I just don't read the things. Does that make me any less deep than anyone else? Nah.
I read the Sweet Valley High series in school, too. And The Babysitters Club, and various and sundry fantasy novels. I can't stand Faulkner, Hemingway, or Plath. Everyone has their preferences, they're no less right than anyone else's. Anyone who says so is full of absolute crap.
Don't get me started on the common sense argument.
Anyway, as long as you can read and enjoy reading, anything anyone else says is goddamn irrelevant, especially in this day and age when we're hard pressed to get anyone to read.
And the author of the SVH series was Francine Pascal, do not ask me why I remember that.
