Dickens was popular in his own time, used common language and is considered "literary", H.P.Lovecraft used some rather difficult, anachronic blasé language, was not popular in his own time and is not by any means considered literary. Borges, I think, beautifully walks along both "genres"...
I think reading solely about dragons, zombies or space marines is puerile behaviour. It's acceptable in a consumerist society where being teen-like is desirable because it means more money being wasted on life-filling junk.
