I don't know yet, but I found this in a forum discussion about Bloom calling 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature
winner Doris Lessing's book "fourth rate science fiction", leading to a definition:
The four rates of science fiction:
First-rate: Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein
Second-rate: Hubbard, Ewoks Pop-up Adventures series, I, Robot The Book Of The Movie
Third-rate: Haunted Mansions of Dune by Frank Herbert's Ex-Wife's Chiropractor, 2004
Fourth-rate: Lessing, Colbert

Oh that's just awesome!
And sounds like he enjoys Ed Wood movies, since I think he's referencing the casting of his girlfriends chiropractor as a replacement for Bela Lugosi.
