I hated Tepper's Beauty and what I hated most about it was saying that homeless people were time travellers. It seemed to be trivialising a real problem, or to be doing exactly the wrong thing with the thing one can do with magic illuminating the essence of real things. I also hated the preachiness. It's a good book though, memorable, vivid, but I do not like it and will not re-read it.
