[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 3.76 is actually a pretty good rating from good reads. It’s pretty hard to have a universally loved book. And when a book is particularly popular, it gets a lot of ratings which tends to drive the overall score down. [/quote]

No, it'a not good at all. I never read books with ratings that low, and still have a to-read list of 1,000 books.[/quote]

Where are all these weird, negative posts coming from? This used to be the one part of the forum my Upper Caucasia neighbors hadn’t found and pooped all over. [/quote]

Seriously. There are so many books out there. Read what you like. There are lots of white men writing new books every year. Some people are interested in the immigrant experience or reading about experiences different from theirs. Nice to have lots of options. No need to insult entire genres or authors because it’s not to your taste.[/quote]

Agree! Some of these comments are ate shocking. Why can’t we have books about the immigrant experience? I am 54 and born in America. I was an avid reader through most of my life but I did not have books that showed these stories for a long time.

And to the pp who mentioned black authors in high school: I have enjoyed many of those books but those stories are not the same. Why are all nonwhite authors the same to you??[/quote]
