It's almost as though novels written by white males are superlative or something.
Weird!

The vast majority of the world's greatest writers have been white men.

Everybody Poops and Hungry Caterpillar serve their respective purposes perfectly.

It's almost like you know nothing about literature.

What is this High school-college level reading thing? Do certain schools have certain lists you can only read from them or something? This is the second time I've seen it the last two days.

>>8321291
>Do certain schools have certain lists you can only read from them or something?

Yes.

>>8321302
Then how do they have adult level? If a college is in charge of college level books who decides what constitutes adult level above college level?

>>8321319
>what is 'books you are assigned for class'

Fuck that facebook page and fuck that bitch talking about white males .

I realized just now that most of you have shit taste. Not just in the individual books you like, but on a fundamental level. You completely miss the point of literature and want it to be something it's not. Literature is, first and foremost, about the prose and how good it reads, and how creatively it's used. A really detailed plot is all nice and well, but if it has poor prose it might as well just be put in a manga or fanfiction. A book with a simple, silly, stupid, or "fun" plot, but good prose used creatively, and good depth, is a better book than a book with a good plot, but shitty animation. This doesn't mean a book with a good plot and poor prose can't be good, but a book with good prose, style, concepts, and creative use, it's always fundamentally a better book.

Literature is by NATURE a medium that is style over substance.

Now, many of you enjoy substance over style better, and thus your favorite kind of book reflects that. it's not that those are not good works in themselves, but rather that they are not the best representation of what literature as a medium is. They may be acceptable, but they do not represent what literature should ideally be, instead only a certain niche of literature that succeeds as a story but fails as readable content.

By it's very nature literature is style first, and a book which gives style a backseat is not good as a book.

Many of you will not like reading this. It's that you have shit taste for liking the book that you like, not that they are bad works in their own right, but rather that if the reason you dislike a book is because it puts style and prose over substance, you have shit taste in books and it isn't the medium for you. Manga and fanfictions are more suited to your preferences.

It's not that either prose is superior, but that they have different qualities which an author or book should be judged by.

>>8321375
Adult isn't a class though so how can you have adult level books? This shit makes no sense and I just feel like these people are trying to sound smarter than they are.

>Literature is, first and foremost, about the prose and how good it reads
You already failed.

>>8321404
>A really detailed plot is all nice and well
if you're doing the prose meme you need a reason for your shitty grammar which arises from your pretension if you don't want that to be the point.

>thoughts?
before i tell you to kill yourself for being on facebook, let's all take a moment to wonder that facebook, the website founded on college affiliation and now populated by vapid teenagers, is complaining about college core and teenage reading. now that we've done that, kill yourself.
