It's hard to admit it because I'm afraid everyone will hate me for being stupid but...I like the Anita Blake books, even the later ones. The pron works for me. My only complaint is the proportions: there's about enough story for a short story, and since I actually like the stories, I want more story and less pron.
I'm not a very critical reader. I react to books emotionally, not intellectually.
I don't think you're stupid. I enjoy reading books that appeal to me emotionally.
I both like and dislike Anita Blake books, which is why I used that metaphor. If there's a new one in the house, I have to read it. But while I'm reading it, I tend to be having an internal dialogue of "OK, so you're tough and have a gun! We know that. GET ON WITH THE STORY!"
