"the good"

no thanks socrates, don't need your moral spooks

Too bad no-one can agree on what the 'greatest masterpieces' are.

Obligatory Faulkner response:
"Read, read, read. Read everything-- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window."

Well said.

Only the tasteless turds with little exposure to literature and none to other mediums, ie the majority of modern "book-lovers", could still uphold such banal, commercial, misinterpreted ideas of literary medium and universal dichotomies of good/bad, high/low art, blindly accepting cultural canons that have been largely disregarded by the very academia that is supposedly directing them, as the story is told by pop media, for decades now, imo.
Stop being a pretentious cunt, it's very transparent, imo.
