Well, now...
Why is it okay to only read romance novels or only read scifi, but not to only read literary fiction?

Who ever said that it was? People can read whatever they want. People who read the much-maligned "genre" book seldom mock people for reading the so-called "literary" books. But there are a number of people (I know, not true of everyone) who routinely spit in the face of those who like genre books.
MrsJospeh's post about people being made to feel embarrassed about the books they enjoy, not because they aren't good, but because they are tired of being spat in the face for enjoying them makes an excellent point.
