I wouldn't disagree--I used to absolutely devour them when I was little. And even as an adult, sometimes the mind needs to relax. However, the books that have stayed with me, and which have proved to be of lasting value, are the others that I mentioned. I don't know if I could have used my time better than reading so much production-line shite, or if they enabled me to appreciate the really beautiful books more. Perhaps you need the dross at some level, but that doesn't much change my view of it.
