"Literary merit" is nonsensical ivory tower masturbation and you know it.

I bet there's a mountain of low-brow books the bookshelves of both of you that is considered shit-tier by half the people on this board.

If I had such books you wouldn't know because I'm not spamming threads about it. Too many HP threads m8, keep the shit in one if any. Ayn Rand got banned for similar shit.

Literary merit presupposes the existence of objective standard(s), which do not happen to exist.
