What do you guys think of the big elephant in the room of literature: Most of it is just not entertaining. Either because it was made in the past and did not have to complete with many other types of media, (see Dickens being paid per word). Or it has completely retreated in to modern art territory - completely divorced from entertainment and obsessed with being a talking point for the chattering classes. And the sums of money in literature are too small for CIA money laundering, so I think we can assume that they're actually serious.

Why are so many self-indulgent pieces of crap praised as worthwhile? "Literary fiction" is a self-indulgent embarrassing mess. I cringe when I see a writer engage in social commentary, even when I like their books. Dostoevsky doesn't get away with this either. I liked Notes form the underground - but NOT because of some stupid message that could've been summarised in 30 seconds, but because it was entertaining.
