Literary elitism? Christ, who is failing? I didn't know it was "elite" to bundle specific genres into one fagot to be burnt without a thought. As another person commented, there are broad differences in any literary realm. Alice in Wonderland is a children's book, as is Captain Underpants. Not to say the discrepancies are always that major, but it is a bit silly to act like a snoot when you're saying something without foundation. No offense intended, of course, but go read some more books and develop a higher taste rather than making pointless insulting remarks as if you were, as a child of the late nineties might say, "all dat."

Though perhaps you might have a fine taste, which just makes it mean of you to pick on people holding forth as they will. Be sweet. I love the Potter, I love the HDM, but they are a bit different. Neither is the deepest stuff about, but they provide a different sensation to the palate, though they are close in genre. I think it takes a real elitist not to judge based on the material itself, but on what the reader gets of it. A slob can drink fine wine and it is wasted on a dead mouth, and a true aesthete can find joy in Wild Irish Rose.

But I'm rambling.
