Weighty Tomes Vs. Blithe Beach Reads

They're having a debate at EW's new Shelf Life blog about high-brow vs. low-brow literature, inspired by some public feuding on the subject by well-known authors such as Philip Pullman and John Grisham. It's worth reading the entire thread, mostly because it reveals the average internet commenter to possess more wisdom about the subject than their counterparts with many a published novel under their belts.

And for the record, EBCs love high-brow lit than entertains, low-brow lit that inspires, and everything above, below and in between.
