>1. They think use of general plot devices = rip off
>2. especially when they have to name 3 works, going "this is like X + Y, sprinkled with Z. total rip off"
>3. They judge book quality by actions of the characters or palatability of events that happen in the book.

>What are the most common signs that someone is a newbe reader?
(See picture). The lobule is usually triangular shaped. You will notice that the cavum has the color pink (like a shrimp kind pink, not piglet like pink). Overall you might notice asymmetric ears (so one ear is larger as the other, a very clear sign of a newby reader). Compared to the overall facial features when the newby walks his ears move with the steps being made.

They have a "top 100" list

Aww someone hasn't read 100 books. Welcome newbie

A newbie thinks he is not a newbie, while the non-newbie thinks he isn't, which makes him a newbie too
