I find the idea that some Classic Literature may or may not be deemed "Literary" to be ridonkulous. Perhaps it's the word itself being used incorrectly (by otherwise intelligent and idealistic people) that I take offense to. Maybe if it was labeled "Great Artsy Writing", or "Heady Stuff Not Really Written to Entertain", or "Extra Really Good for Not Easily Definable Reasons", it wouldn't trouble me so. But no... they had to take a perfectly good (and clearly defined) adjective and muddy it all up.
"What's your favorite kind of literature?"
"Literary."
