Agreed on the number of bad ones. I just read the first book of a james patterson series, and I don't understand how it was ever greenlit. I know there was that quote about 90% of everything being trash, and it was just 'in the old days' that we never saw anything but the 10%, but I just struggle to see harry potter now as part of the 10%. I've read too many good books and series to believe it does have a place in the 10%. I know, on some level, that they aren't that bad, but I just have this whiplash from the feelings I had about them as a kid and how I read them now.
Yeah make no mistake, I'm definitely not reading them anymore, even though that's one of the series that I reread (past tense) several times and would probably keep rereading every so often if the author didn't turn out to be ... that.
