/lit/ - Literature

/lit/ seems to think that novels are only famous because they're good reads—that is utter bullshit. don quixote was a milestone in literature; it ushered in a wave of lit that was accessible to the everyman, that drew nuance more from pop culture than from the arts and sciences. its allure isn't in its prose or its character development or in its symbolism. it's just a hell of a fun read. and it wasn't meant to be read all at once, or in english, both of which make it infinitely harder to appreciate.

this goes for Catcher in the Rye, too, by the way.
