I love this point. I don't usually feel guilty that I don't care for an author's work, even when I like them personally very much, because it's kind of going to happen in my line of work, you know? (happens a lot, actually). But I positively HATE it when an author I don't like writes good books. And I do generally avoid those books, because I figure there are enough books out there, I can find something else to read and not be too deprived.
