You wouldn't know it by the nominations.

There are also many older books that are not "literary" that the main club could discuss. H.G. Wells, Sherlock Holmes, H. Rider Haggard's Quatermain books, the Oz books are all books that don't necessarily fit into the literary club but would fit in here just fine in several genre categories but aren't modern.

Is literary being called literary for the story or for the writing because I'e read some books where the story is not literary, but the writing is. For example,
Perdido Street Station is literary for the writing, but not the story.
