Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written work and can, in some circumstances, refer exclusively to published sources. The word literature literally means "things made from letters".

As anyone who's ever read a book knows, the word "literature" has the connotation of referring to high art--that is, particularly well-written works of cultural, or historical merit.

It'd do you some good to stop pretending this connotation is nonexistent.

No. The word has no such connotation, never had, and never will.

I get the distinct vibe that you're a mouthbreathing high-school child from this conversation.

Agreed, except people who don't even read books have the same connotation. Ask them what literature is and they'll say, "Moby Dick or some book smart people read." They'll never say Twilight, Hunger Games, etc. are literature.
