/lit/ - Literature

I am not just referring to this board but modern society in general seems to exalt novels(often large ones) as opposed to other mediums of literature such as poetry, short stories or plays. Personally I feel like short stories are often much more worthwhile and I get the impression that many people who don’t often resr might benefit from reading them as they are short and thematically concise. I just wondered why this was the case could it have something to do with the commercial nature of the publishing industry? I wanted to open a discussion on this

Any good fantasy Youtubers? Daniel Greene has turned shit.
