Thank you for the explanation. I was baffled by those categories as well.
All I knew was that the higher the book is regarded by literary critics, the less chance I will like the book.
Your use of the word Literature evokes a quote from my favourite writer
Sir Terry Pratchett - a genere writer that was knighted for his acomplishments ;-)
