This kind of thing baffles me. I'm not much of a reader of Classic Literature (in caps) but the stuff I have read on that list is mostly pretty good. But so many people think that anyone who doesn't share their precise (lack of) taste is just lying to try to impress people.
@dorianlynskey.bsky.socialThe most psychologically weird reaction to the 100 novels list is the suggestion that writers who like literature are just showing off or pretending or being snobs and they don’t *really* like these books at all. God forbid writers sincerely enjoy great writing
