LITERARY POLICE WARNING: Vee haf ways of making you read great literature.

1. Great writing + Compelling Plot = Great Book

2. Great writing + Dull Plot = Strong Candidate for an English Course

3. Poor writing + Interesting Plot = Average bestseller

4. Poor writing + Indifferent Plot = Non-seller

Admittedly, not many books make it into category #1. Between the next two categories (#2 and #3), the choice is difficult. Purists would rank #2 as more important than #3.
