Re: Literature

I wanted to see if I could get across to you why someone might disagree with you, rather than just cursing you out. Guess it didn't work.

I find it hard to conceptualize how you can claim that literary fiction is pretentious without also thinking less of people who enjoy them. If literary fiction is pretentious, then people who enjoy it take it for what it's pretending to be. And that means that people who like it are either pretentious or stupid. Your whole attitude seems to be that literary fiction is insincere - that it's pretentious, that it exists for "making you question your IQ", that is, solely for seeming smart, and that there's nothing "deep" in them. So what about people who sincerely like those books? What about people who do think there's something deep or meaningful in them? I mean, how do you think people are going to respond to that? It comes across as you dismissing a whole field of literature, and doing so in a way that implies that people who like it do so either insincerely or because they're fools. That's no damn good, any more than it is when people who really like literary fiction say that all YA fiction is childish and bad.

I also think sardines on pizza is gross, but I have nothing against people who enjoy it. I don't see how this is any different. You like something I don't. Yippee. We've discovered that people sometimes have different opinions and tastes. Is it really that strange to you that I can accept that somebody likes something I don't without thinking less of that person? It's really not that difficult - it's not like people's taste in books in any way reflects their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. It has no significant bearing on who one is as a person, and therefore, whether I also like it or not has no significant bearing on what I think of that person.

If you like it, if you find it deep and sincere, if it means something to you - good for you. For me, I like genre fiction. Genre fiction means something to me, too. Now you can go read your books, and I'll go read mine, and everything will be a-okay.

Nothing you said here is wrong. I don't disagree with it in anyway. It's all great. If all your posts were like this, no one would give a shit.

The problem is that I don't see how you can think this, and also think that the only reason someone would read Brothers Karamazov is because it makes them look smart. If you think that - and you do think that, because you said it, you said that you don't want to read Brothers Karamazov because you don't want to look smart - then that means that everyone who reads Brothers Karamazov and books like it read them only to look smart. And that is a negative value judgment to place on someone. You're the one who's refusing to acknowledge that people have different tastes.

If you really think that one's taste in books has no bearing on one's attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors, why did you talk about literary books like the only reason people read them is to seem smart. If you really think that people can have different tastes, why did you say all literary books are pretentious, instead of just saying that you don't like them. If you don't think any of that, why the hell have you consistently acted as though you have.
