Lots of people still read and many don't know or don't care about the author

To each their own, I'm not here to judge anyone, especially over things they simply just don't know or might just not care about.

I never was a fan of Harry Potter in the first place, even before the author started showing her true colors. I was always more of a Lord Of The Rings fan.

Oh man L. Ron Hubbard is as problematic as J. K. Rowling.

Similarly, I was never much into it. I read the first four books because my best friend back then was really, really, really raving about it. This is about the time the books were first released. I found the first three books okay, the fourth an absolute piece of boring slop, and lost interest after that one.
