Funny thing. I've read "good" literature both in and out of school. I've never read one that I actually enjoyed or wanted to reread. They all seem to be about unpleasant disfunctional people who are morose about the mess their life is usually through their own fault. No stories about cheerful, intelligent, and competent people who while they may have obstacles in their life solve them and go on to have a good life. Give me a enjoyable cozy mystery, fantasy novel or romance any day over those. There are plenty of disfuctional unpleasant people in real life. I won't have anything to do with them and I don't want to read about them. To hell with "literary standards".
