can't find no good reason

Regarding this article in TIME Magazine about James Patterson, and James Patterson's complaint about not being highly respected: how is it possible to respect an author who says of his next book, "I don't think it's terribly worth reading, honestly"?

Managed to never read a Patterson book, but after reading this ... I'm appalled at his collaboration method. *boggle*

how far will we take this

"Hm, I don't really have time to write this, would you mind awfully doing it for me? And then I'll rake over what you write to make it 'mine,' and you'll have your name on a cover with a best-selling author!"
