It was a cool fall morning as Dick awoke from his dreamy slumber. Pulling the heavy woolen covers from his bodice, he heads down to the kitchen to brew a hot, dank cup of coffee. Dick loves any type of coffee, in particular, dark French roast which he measures a plentiful amount of sugar and creamer to his tastes. "I love coffee", says Dick as he takes a seat at the kitchen table. A few minutes later, after drinking half of the delicious and succulent nectar of the gods, Dick realizes that his stomach has begun to rumble with a pit like feeling. "I feel like a nice coffee shit is upon the horizon", Dick excitedly states. He stumbles to the bathroom, clearly still tired as the coffee has not kicked in yet, to deposit a large, dank, smelly shit into the bowl.

The end.

I'm using MW's:
snob·bery : disapproving : the behavior or attitude of people who think they are better than other people : the behavior or attitude of snobs

So, for example, I will never get through Ulysses because I'm not an Irish Catholic old man, and therefore the references and stream of consciousness put me off; however, I would not argue that it's not a great novel, since so many have said it is.

I do love Infinite Jest, but it's the same thing: a novel of a particular time and language that speaks most to those who share the cultural and linguistic background. It, too is a great novel, but a lot of people hate it for the reasons I give.

So, I feel snobbery is not being able to rise above one's own subjective views due to insecurity or delusions of grandeur.

So I ask if anyone thinks snobbery has use?

Hello. Does /lit/ know of any good books about magic/wizards? Not typical fantasy stuff like LOTR that includes wizards, but where wizards play a central part, or are revered as extremely powerful and dangerous?
