It's best to judge books by their content.

sir, i pick and choose books by cover :3


That's because American covers are so ugly and only special books get good ones.

I saw Harry Potter in a book store and thought "well this looks stupid". And I was right.

Check out our medieval fantasy books if you want to throw up at the sight of hideousness.

just finished The Pearl that Broke Its Shell, pretty good, but typical "the struggle is real" kind of book (similar to Kite Runner and books by Khaled Hosseini. I'll probably write more about this later

Judging books by their covers is the most important skill in the world. Without it, youd have to read ayn rand before calling her a slutcat.

I've never called anyone a slutcat but I might have to start.

If you judge Harry Potter fairly, and by fairly I mean in its genre, it's a very, very good book.

honestly, HP is pretty good

prisoner of Azkaban is by far my favourite HP book

also, the fourth one beat out Storm of Swords to win the Hugo that year

Honestly hugos are pretty worthless nowadays. Cant really trust any female writers winning over male writers there, since their judgements are no longer based on quality.

I miss the time when I could pick up any hugo winner and enjoy the book...

I don't know what the point of this sentence is, so I'm going to side-eye you for the rest of eternity.

Could be misinterpreting, but I think he's saying that he's skeptical whenever a woman wins because it might be for publicity or whatever you want to call it. Which is a pretty shitty situation all around.

Shame it's not like the old days, when only deserving writers like McCaffrey, LeGuin, and Cherryh could get a Hugo.

McCaffrey is overrated. I do like the art books, though.
