Nah, comments like that really wind me up, its just not true. For example, the last book I read was "goodbye to Berlin" by Christopher Isherwood, which is by all accounts a "proper" book, the next book I read will be the next Harry Potter book. Theres too much litterary snobbery in this world I feel. There are a lot of people I'm sure, who have never read a book before Harry Potter and probably never will after, but then again, there are plenty of well read people, who like Harry Potter because its a simple un pretentious read which allows you to kind of "switch off".
