[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure I'm overthinking this but can't seem to let go of it. I read a wide variety of books including books that are are 'low brow' but have a good [i]story[/i] that engages me. I recognize the 'worth' of those books (sometimes found on Kindle Unlimited) are no where near the 'worth' of a classic book. Should that make a difference in how I rate the lowly book versus the lofty book? Should my rating of the Ilona Andrews, Jesse Mihalek, Michelle Diener, T.A. White books be lower than the JRR Tolkien, JD Salinger, Toni Morrison books? If I were to give Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring 5 stars, can I give Ilona Andrew's Magic Bites 5 stars. I can't use category to differentiate them. There are low brow and lofty books in every category. The Fellowship of the Ring is in a completely different category than Kate Daniels books. I am highly engaged with both of them but which I read depends on my mood. KWIM?[/quote]
