if you read nothing but revered, canonical literature you put yourself in danger of losing sight of why you're even reading those works in the first place

Sometimes you need interesting sci-fi, fantasy, romance, etc., so that when you read War and Peace you have something to compare it to

What if you don't?

Point is everyone should read Canons like Moby Dick.
