what are you a snob about?

[oats]

being a snob is not a bad thing imo. just means that you have particular, refined tastes about something that you're not willing to compromise. everyone should be snobbish about some things. just not be a hipster dick about it if people don't share in your snobbery.

for me:
coffee and literature. I won't drink drip coffee or standard starbucks brands anymore. just can't do it. I'll tolerate a french press, but I prefer a moka pot. I like kona coffee best (pref peaberry, medium to dark roast), but I really dig s. american coffee (mostly dark). I don't like the lighter bodied, citrusy shit. Most African coffee is too acidic for my tastes

for fiction, def a snob. I don't read Dean Koontz/Dan Brown/etc. I can get down with some Michael Crichton, but that's because I read him as a kid and it stuck - I don't like his writing much at all, more so his imagination. probably lowest brow writing I'll read is a Chuck Palahniuk caliber, but I tend to prefer the Salman Rushdies and William Boyds of the world, just such a brilliant attention to craft.

in a site so packed with opinion, surely there are more snobs about one thing or another?

I'm definitely a book snob because books take too long to read crap. I try not to judge those who do, but it's tough.

Most other things that I like I have weaned myself off being a snob with, though. And I like way too much music and beer and food and art and liquor to be called a snob about them.

I forgot TV. I won't even start a show if it didn't get good reviews from one of The AV Club, Grantland or Alan Sepinwall.

Andy Greenwald is the worst. Horrible. So hate.

Horrible.

Sepinwall is my dude though.

Grantland is clearly third among that group. My favorite TV writer is Donna Bowman.

I don't really care enough about what other people do to be a snob about anything, but seeing the books some people read or the television shows they watch does make me cringe at times.

She covered Breaking Bad and How I Met Your Mother for The AV Club.
