Just wrapping my head around how everything pre-1970s is considered a part of the Classics.

What the hell kind of timescale are you using? Also, which Ellison do you refer to in mid-tier? If Ralph, I'mokaywiththis.jpg. If Harlan, he's still writing and you have no reason to leave DFW out as a result.

Sage for putting so much goddamn thought into the troll threads I usually ignore.
