Lee--some of it IS wonderous. Some of it is crap.

You would hate anyone to say ALL poetry is crap. As you know only too well, some of it is wonderous. And a lot of it is crap.

Books v literature.

Am I missing something here?

Shouldn't we begin to steer readers away from blood-sucking vampires and get them into true literature?

Are we going telling readers that this genre is wondrous?

Duh!
