Grade Inflation?

Almost all of the books I’ve read so far in 2007 have ratings of B or higher. It’s not because of grade inflation, but rather because I don’t have time to read bad books. If I don’t enjoy the book right away, it goes in the donation pile. Snow Falling on Cedars, for example, went into the donation pile almost immediately. I’ll never know if it was truly as bad as it started out to be. It’s sad, but you only get to read a limited number of books in your life, so why risk wasting time on stinkers?
