I've got to laugh at the prose dinosaurs in this thread. Literature as you know it is dead.

With the advent of movies , television shows and youtube videos there is no need for the archaic used of prose i.e. use of words in a non visual and auditory medium to eloquently express what someone might be sensing with touch, scent, sight taste and hearing, all contained within the confines of pages. These pages can then be transported across vast distances where the experience can be duplicated multiple times the exact way the source wished it to be. Something that the spoken word could not do properly, hence why it was phased out by writing... well it's writing's turn to be phased out.

It still beats the spoken word by a long shot, but dense wordplay, with a plethora of entendres, puns and metaphors is not needed in this day and age.
