In defence of the average novel

Here’s my thing: I don’t think reading novels should be hard work, not if the work isn’t dwarfed by the enjoyment you get from it. I don’t think books should be notches on an intellectual bedpost. I don’t think they should be used as the currency of culture – or cool – either.

Amen! Stop trying to be awesome by disliking "non-intellectual" books.
