<<<I checked it out (despite my personal disinterest in the genre),>>>

Er... Joan. You have just declared a distinct lack of impartiality where the genre is concerned; so I do believe you mean uninterest.

I beg of you not to tarnish your reputation as a 'snob' by attempting to defend this most shocking lapse by pointing out that 'disinterest' has now, unfortunately in my view, obtained, in Fowler, a third definition: 'unconcerned;' this definition being described, however, as 'controversial.'

hehehe
