It's no different than saying I like the avengers. You ought to be able to turn your brain off and just enjoy something, be it a movie, TV show, or book.
Why can't entertainment, even shutting your brain off, come from reading better books, not necessarily more serious or dry or strenuous reading.
Literature's no different than other forms of entertainment. If you choose to listen to Rascall Flats instead of Jason Isbell that's a poor choice. Who you are depends on these choices.
The commercial/pop-mainstream class of entertainment is generally going to be within a certain spectrum of shite. Good shite, or bad shite. Not that there aren't endearing and good things about the good shite, there are, but it's still shite compared to the real thing.

"Better" books? What if some person genuinely enjoys Rascal Flatts more than Jason Isbell? Do you ever try to be more pretentious than you already come off as? That would be impressive.

What, in your opinion, would be "the real thing"?
