Not all so-called literature is worth reading. Sure, it may be called great writing, but it can be very dull with nothing really entertaining. To me, reading is about enjoyment. There are a lot of good stories lost in writing that is dated and not easy to read or dull to read given the way it's written.

If the story is enjoyable, it's a good read. If it's not enjoyable, then it's not a good read. Literature is just a term that really is meaningless.
