How to deal with someone who insists you need to read someone's books that, quite truly, you'd never touch (10 foot pole optional)?
Do you just baldly state you don't read that "crap"? I can see that going over real well with the friends or the little old ladies.
Do you lie and say you have? Nothing like being asked about such-and-such a character and try to fib your way out of that one.
My favorite? I've just got so many books on my to read stack, I haven't had the time to pick up a new author. It is polite and leads the fevrent fangirl or fanboy to believe you are seriously interested.
