There's literature, and then there's....

BULLSH*T! I am not trying to downplay any of the hot authors out right now, but is it just me, or does it seem like they can't write books the way they used to? this leads me to believe that there must be a difference between literature and just something to read. I would love to see responses to this post, as to what most of you would consider literature.

we need more zora neale hurstons and ralph ellisons!!! aiight thats my piece, had to rep the authors or my two fav. books...

oh my god every where i go Ekow is acting a damn fool. lol. but anyways yeah i have picked up some hot trash in the past year. ya know the book that starts off nice and in the middle it loses everything and goes every direction and makes absolutely no sense. we do this as college students sometimes in those essays and papers we dont want to write. ya know get to the middle and just put some BULLSH!t up in their and then expect to get a good grade on it. lol. yeah i hate reading trash, makes my mind wanna boil.

I like some of the modern books out right now, although I thought I was the only one that didn't think The Coldest Winter Ever was extrodinary, there are some authors out right now that are writing good books, for example Pearl Cleage-what looks like crazy on an ordinary day, or The Warmest December- Bernice McFadden, it's all about what books you pick out. 8)

the words are driven by dollars, and keep in mind that things that are hot nowadays are "reality TV" and "trucker hats" you cant expect the same people that drive pop culture to support well written literature, c'mon now plus, the less people know about whats good, the more pleasure you get from keeping it all to yourself, although you can spread the word if you feel
