50 Shades of Grey. They’re going to be disappointing.
Not literature. At all. I might not agree with it but I’ll read it to see if I can understand where they’re coming from, or try to recognise the context. I love James Ellroy, for example, but I find some of his language jarring. It’s debatable as to whether it’s necessary, but it certainly does add a distasteful sort of depth.
Non-fiction that I fundamentally disagree with, such as Harari’s definition of liberalism in Sapiens, gets right up my nose, and I get grumpy. But I’ll tend to read on to see if they have anything interesting to say.
