That is an interesting notion Aiwendil, that some books are fine for relaxed enjoyment, but that it takes other books to put to the use of serious study. Are these people insinuating that Republic, for example, cannot be enjoyed? It is surely a crime to forbid the enjoyment of certain books, no matter how 'important' or 'serious' they may be.
Books matter, undoubtedly, but I am thinking that some pretentious people (on both sides of the fence) have a foggy view of what this means.
