I'm seeing a lot of what I call "Popcorn Books" listed here. If you want to read books BOTH deep and interesting, then join the Freeper Reading Club. Great LITERATURE that will make you think. Unfortunately too many books have empty intellectual calories. I tried to avoid those books in the Freeper Reading Club assignments.

Hey, I hope we didn't step on anyone's toes over your way, PJ. I didn't mean to, but if I did, I apologize.
Anyways, it seems that "popcorn books" are the ones most here are discussing right now. They're the ones we're all likeliest to have in common, after all.

Trollope is not "popcorn." Neither is Donn Byrne, although not well known he is a fairly deep read. Dorothy Sayers' mystery stories stand well as serious novels (especially The Nine Tailors which as a bonus provides ample information on the arcane British art of change-ringing.) Georgette Heyer appears on casual examination to be popcorn, but she is making game of you.
(I realize your condemnation was not universal but general - but I couldn't resist.)
