Dan Brown's novels do not meet this definition of literature. They do meet the definition of "Fiction", hence their placement in "Literature & Fiction". Even the label "Literature & Fiction" implies that there is a difference between literature and mere fiction.
It's nothing to get your hackles up about. You can defend Dan Brown's literary prowess all you like, but no one's going to agree with you.  |
Thank you superlucky, you caught my meaning exactly.
Both kind of books have it's place on my PRS, that doesn´t mean they are the same.
No need to get all worked up over a light discussion...
