Hear, hear, slayda! Except, I have to add that I always feel so ... bad? ... ignorant? ... uncouth? ... when I don't like "Lit-rah-chure." I feel I am somehow failing the great Literature Guru or something. However, I like [mostly] the popular, current stuff - what I call "brain candy." Hey, reading is for my pleasure! At least you can't get cavities from it.

And, words are words, whether they come in a fancy leather-bound tome or on an e-ink screen. I just want the story.

I just have the feeling that these kinds of threads are like the age-old chicken/egg/which came first stories. The discussion can (has? will?) go on forever.
