Good literature

I was criticized recently for reading things by J. K. Rowling and Dan Brown because they're not "good literature." This criticism came from a literature major, who believed the plots created by authors like this are too simple and contrived. I fully agree, which is exactly why I read books like this. When I read, I'm not looking for a challenge. I don't judge the story arc or character development. I don't give a crap about that stuff. I read for the same reason I do many things: For entertainment. Books with simple, contrived plot lines fill that need with surprising ease. Screw good literature. Give me entertainment. #entertainment
