Comment on Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoFirst in what way is Sanderson similar to Clancy? Sanderson books are massive tomes of epic fantasy. In what way is it not “literature”? Or do you just consider only non-fiction “literature”

They’re both mass-market pulp that are entertaining to read. There’s plenty of sci-fi and fantasy that’s literature: Ursula LeGuin, Tolkien, Gene Wolfe, NK Jemisin, Vonnegut… the list goes on.
