You know there are much better examples of fiction readily available in any store, right?

[He will just glare over the top of his book]

Wow, who asked your opinion? Maybe I like this book. Maybe I enjoy it for its mediocrity? What if that was a thing that happened?

[givesyouaboner]

I just don't see how anyone can enjoy that even ironically.

[There's a moment where Eriq just stares at Dirk like he just said something stupid.]

[Which as far as he's concerned, he did]

Um, first of all, I'm ninety nine percent sure that was an incorrect usage of the word and principle of irony. Secondly, I don't see how it's any of your business, how I enjoy it, or whether I enjoy it at all. And finally, again, wow. Who asked your opinion?

_{[Wow, rude.]}

I'm just curious as to why you like it. Is it legitimately liking it? Like, Team Edward or Team Jacob liking it? Or is it like a case of Schadenfreude and you can't put it down?

[eighttimeshandy]

It's a VAMPIRE novel. [He sniffs haughtily] Anyone who is Team Jacob is reading the wrong series. Yes, I legitimately like it. Is that a problem to you?

_{[This is kind of amazing. He's not even judging. He's just that surprised.]}

No, you're entitled to like what you want. Personally, I prefer more classical approaches to vampire novels, but who asked my opinion, right?
