If Readers and Non-readers don't = Not an issue, I'll just skip it.

If Readers and non-readers like it = Read the book first so I can get some of the inside jokes.

Saw this matrix from upthread. I've been watching a few discussion threads at various places and must say I'm not seeing a solid trend.

One thing I find interesting is the huge spread at Rotten Tomatoes between the cream of the crop critics and everybody else. The "cream of the crop" is at 43% and everybody else was 70% favorable. I don't know that I've seen such a large split in quite a while.
