Is enjoying genre fiction the ultimate sign of a midwit? Literally every reddit forum loves genre fiction and will downvote you to oblivion if you shit talk it, will call you elitist, snob, gatekeeper, etc. But is that really such a bad thing? Literature is an intelligent art form that demands abstract thinking, especially at the high level. It's supposed to make present some vision of the world, which in some ways is more effectively done through fiction than non-fiction. Is it even worth engaging in conversation those who prefer genre fiction above literary fiction? I've literally never heard a pro genre fiction argument that didn't sound like cope. The same way some weebs insist their anime is the greatest thing ever, it's just sad and cringe in all the wrong ways.

What's the most unironically high iq book you've ever read, either fiction or non-fiction? Give me something that's extremely intelligent and clearly written by a genius.
