>I believe that literature must present big ideas and themes and challenge the reader's attitudes and values. Writing is to entertain: literature is to enlighten, to educate, to provoke, and great literature will do this whilst being very entertaining.

GOOD.

GRAVY.

You are balls and away the most incredibly pretentious douche on 4chan. If this is honestly what literature is as opposed to just writing then I'll take writing any fucking day of the week, any artform that's so terminally stuck up it's own ass than it needs to 'challenge' my 'perceptions' or what the fuck ever to deem itself worthy of it's own inherently worthless label can chug sixty dicks worth of battery acid. This is exactly the same sort of shit that soured me on the art scene, when any sort of diarrheic shitspray on a canvas or off-color soupcan could be pronounced 'FINE ART' by all those piles of PURE HUMAN TRAGEDY that comprise the New York intellectual scene.

Son of a bitch I mad.
