It's all a fantasy you cheesebrain. The fuck does it matter if the poignant character is a space gypsy or a WW2 widow?

Nobody who reads uses fantasy and fiction interchangeably and you know this, don't be obtuse.

[Anonymous No.21464138]

>>21464118
Not obtuse, blunt. Fiction is fiction and if you think all fiction you name 'genre' is somehow arbitrarily inferior, then I'd say you have a very narrow idea of literature.

[Anonymous No.21464146]

>>21464138
it's not arbitrarily inferior, it's objectively so.

[Anonymous No.21464158]

>>21464146
And this is why this sub keeps parroting the similarly arbitrary list of reading that it does. Because discovery and variety are unknown to (You).
If you'd be more inquisitive you'd go looking for something to like.

[Anonymous No.21464176]

>>21464158
you keep using that word, much like a child playing with a new toy. if it were so arbitrary, why the consistency, year after year? you say "something to like", but it doesn't occur to you that i do indeed like literature, evidenced by my yawning meme when confronted with genre fiction, which is far too shallow a scratch to ever satisfy the pruritus that frequents my spirit. it's quite all right that *you* enjoy genre fiction, but don't pretend that it even attempts to reach the height of literature. ignoring the distinction only harms you, not me.

[Anonymous No.21464180]

>>21464138
You're moving the goalposts, I'm not the anon saying fantasy genre books are trash, but I'm telling you that they are of course subsetted for a reason from other fiction. That being said, I do think it sucks, that's my subjective "arbitrary" opinion, sorry it's not maths. Happy new year

[Anonymous No.21464226]

>>21464176
What I'm saying is that the same rule applies for both. Some of what's called 'high literature' is frequently just bad. Like any fiction. Like 'genre' fiction, which you seem to dump every fantasy or similar work in.
And arbitrary means random, in case you were wondering. You don't seem to like that word for some reason.
>>21464180
I was just saying the subset is useless for judging quality or merit.

Dune + Warhammer + Warhammer 40k + Blood Meridian + Rape.

And I don't know but I really love his books even though I find them aggravating.

It's pretty much this, plus some Silmarillion and Crusades for good measure.
