A friend of mine confessed he'd read all 200 Star Trek books (as many as had then been published), and every single one was utter crap, but he couldn't stop reading them. I was going to admonish him for wasting all that time, but then recalled I'd read all 182 Doc Savage novels, and was re-reading them, so kept my mouth shut.
