@Likewise@bookstodon I might trust the judgment of a person who read 5 outstanding books in their lifetime over that of an avid reader who has read 10,000 mediocre ones. In other words, IMO it depends what the other person is comparing the book to, not what their consumption volume is. Of course probably in the real world (instead of my hypothetical one) an avid reader is likely to come across their fair share of excellent books too.
