I'm a nerd who loves literature anyway. I read Percy Shelly's poetry for fun.

Plus, I like Dostoyevski, even though I still can't spell his name.

Granted Tolkien was the guy who wrote a 350 page book and called it "Childrens Literature". Seriously thats the description for The Hobbit

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

@Librarian I laughed at the ressurection scene in the book.

Voldie: (standing up naked in a couldron) "Robe me"

Goblet Of Fie was like the last time Voldie ever did any really good scheming

@Bagof Magic Food Yeah, just get the context of the story, and make sure you answer/describe what ever the topic is in writing forme.

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

You know what grossed me out? The ending of The Grapes of Wrath.

The dead fetus is not the grossest thing at the end of that book.

Oh christ there was an obnoxious guy on one of the threads on this site going on about how LOTR shouldn't be classed as literature

....well it isn't. Tolkien himself said it was just meant to be an amusing story. Personally I'd put that as a point in its favor.

@con You're reminding me of te film The Brood where the main character cleans a fetus she's just given birth to using her tongue (shudder)

The Grapes of Wrath didn't gross me out, it pissed me off. It has no ending! They're just in the barn about to get flooded and it stops!

But Grapes Of Wrath having no ending was the point it was written in the middle of the great depression not the end *Shotgunned*

#216342 Bluespade Wed, 6th Jun '12 8:10:00 PM from Texas

I don't really get it, what is the definition for "literature" you guys are using? LOTR is fantasy, I've never heard of a fantasy book being considered "literature."

@Ginger:I'm not doing the snob thing. I personally think the whole "literature" genre is mostly bullshit.

@ginger: That's the wrong question to ask if you wanted to shoo away the snobs. They'll be swarming now.

Genre =/= Quality.

@Steve: That;s not the point. The ending worked, it was just disgusting.

Read 4 novels in my english class. I half-assed through most of them, never bought the books. Teacher had copies we'd only read in class.

Mostly read Beloved and uh, yeah I really wish I hadn't....

literature is what the snobs call books they like. Me? I just call em stories. Keep it simple.

@steve: I know why it has no ending, that doesn't make me feel any less cheated for having wasted so many hours reading it.

@Bluespade The definition TV Tropes seems to use for Literature.

Fictional Stories presented in a mostly written form in a book, I'd assume.

You know what I consider literature? Any story being conveyed via prose. (or written word, or whatever the fuck books are written in you terminology FREAKS)

Here's a question for all of you. What's the worst movie you've had the mispleasure of viewing all the way through? Remember, if you stopped watching it before the credits came up, it doesn't count.

For me, it's a tie between Disaster movie {The failed "parody" film} and Grown ups. Ugh.-_-
