I'm more of a non-fiction reader (particularly in the genres of sociology, philosophy, & economics). C Wright Mills is beach reading for me. When i do read fiction, it tends to be stuff like Gaddis or Faulkner, Woolf, Pynchon or Proust. This brings scorn from people who don't like that sort of thing. My brother for instance, who has a degree in English. Or a crazy bookseller in Milwaukee who went into an endless rant about the Horrors of Literary Fiction when i confessed to not reading much genre fiction.
Yes folks, reverse snobbism is real.
