You're posting some great ideas! I think another aspect of literature is this: It challenges your brain with new words--it's not just an "easy read" for thrilling enjoyment, but it truly makes your brain work as it processes the words. Maybe that's the reason I used to clump any book written before 1970 into the literature category. :-) I agree with you, Rachel. You’re posting some great ideas!
