I read this book like 6 months ago and I'm still excited about it.

Pic related, my ex gf gave me this shirt on my last birthday and it's still one of my favourites shirts (I don't really buy clothes so it'll be one of them for a long time I guess)

They are stupid.

Quality is objective, however no one may ever know the full range of best to worst and everything in between. Should someone defend something that is bad, they believe it is good because they haven't seen something good, and will have difficulty adjusting to the good thing if they tried because they are so used to their definition of good (which is bad). Similarly, in reverse, someone might call a good author shit because they were someone who only read good things, and do not know or care about actually bad authors.

Quality is objective. Judgement and experience of quality isn't.

and meme value

>>8394423
Basically a mastery of at least one of those categories.

Borges, for example, is great because of his ideas and storytelling.
Joyce is great because of his prose more than anything else, even if he was proficient on the other categories.

Meme value too.

This is not the place to ask. Half of these goofballs cant even finish what they write.

Your best is just reading the good stuff and learning it intuitively, but /some/ writing manuals can point you in the right direction as well.

Does literally anybody give a fuck? I seriously doubt it

Talk to them.
Ask what they've read.
Listen to their opinion.
Communicate and discuss the topic.

You mean the left one is shit and the right one is great right?

>>8394232
These both don't strike me as particularly great desu

>>8394300
Left is the good one and right is the shit one. At least that's what I think
