Someone scoffed at one of my hobbies and I thought “his loss”. Then I remembered that most people are mostly the same, and figured that I was probably scoffing at something that another Walter enjoyed. Maybe he was more correct than me?
I decided to examine my scoff list.
The most prominent example of my sneering at a popular thing was the Twilight books. They were not “for” me. They were what teen girls read, or something? I knew I was supposed to hate their fans.
So I bought them and read them. It was a good time. I can see why they were so successful.
I bet this book club would bring about a similar result. 50 Shades probably isn’t as successful as it is without being an enjoyable experience.
I did a similar thing recently.
