[quote=Anonymous]I agree- I often select books because they have won the Pulitzer and realize quickly that they aren't all that - I wonder whether prizes are political. I was an english major and find it very difficult to find "new" fiction to read. I have a hard time in book clubs because i just don't get much out of these books. I have to go to "classics" just to get through something and feel my reading time has been well spent. I agree with the article that there is a place for many types of fiction- many people appreciate light reads but to call them "literary" is just a marketing ploy. I too am working on a book - but I would never ever in a million years consider anythign I could ever write to be "literary" in the classic sense, with a capital "L" as he says. hope this is readable - typing at work inbetweeen, well, working. iwth a bandaid on my pinkie.[/quote]
