No straight man will answer that honestly...;)
Would you judge an offensive comment by a friend differently than one from someone you didn't like, and, if so, why?
Who says literary novels are supposed to make us sleep at night...you?
Also, what exactly makes that novel great? You take an intellectual stance when you claim it is. And if intellectuals are...

The Kids Are Alright--The Who
No. you're a mealy-mouthed clown who doesn't understand "mealy-mouthed" or "curmudgeon"...;)
Mona clearly didn't understand the term "racism" in her post to me, since she implied people couldn't...
Did he? He derided intellectuals: so how can he deride "airport novels" without taking an intellectual stance like yours?
Also, if there are only "airport novels," how come so many other types of...
Daredevil
Kirk Douglas or Burt Lancaster?

Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett
I'm not compelled to believe the deity who gave us logic, intelligence, and sensibility meant for us to not use them.
The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is...
One of the greatest television shows ever.
Moral:
1. I'm not focused on scholars and scholars alone; you just mistakenly neglected them in your first post. Scholars/professional critics are the exemplars of their critical schools. You cannot...
