    I just dont understand how someone with a English major doesn't consider FW a work of literature. Of course I can understand that Velouria can like or dislike FW and I respect that. But I expect a little bit more from someone with an English major than just dismissing a book saying that it is not literature, I expect to be told why.

    With that said I would like to say hi to everyone in here.

    Fw is not easy, its not meant to be.
