Are they the only genre fiction worth reading?

That depends if you like genre fiction. If you do I suggest reading more of it, if not then don't read anymore. /lit/ posturing isn't worth passing up a good book.

I'd add at least Brave New World, 1984, Lord of the Rings, some Lovecraft, some Edgar Allan Poe, Frankenstein and Dracula.
I have no idea why you chose these books in particular. You're obviously a faggot.

I haven't read We, but it sounds promising.
Brave New World, 1984, Dracula, Lovecraft and Poe are all highly influential authors/books that are universally praised, not just in genre fiction, but in all of literature.
Care to extrapolate on why enjoying them would disqualify me from posting on a literature board?
