Is the atrocious formatting of the list part of the trolling?

This has been posted here numerous times. Please guys, don't let them troll you so easily, it only brings them back!

If by literature, you mean standard boilerplate fiction written in atrocious prose or translated from atrocious foreign prose, then yes, this list is correct.

Hamlet is a soap opera written in old english, nothing more.

Also, the 'not-lit' section is still lit.

no it is writing, and it is stories, but it is not literature.

Stop being an elitist. If it's writing, it's literature. Look up the definition of the word. Technically a menu is a form of literature - just because you don't consider it as GOOD literature as Joyce or whatever that doesn't mean it's not literature at all.

entry level is not necessarily bad, it is just the entry level of literature - ie the stuff taught at school, aimed at adolescents, etc.
