Sorry I have to side with the savage here

there's "literary genius" like Tolkien, and Austen and Gaskell.
Then there's clever literature, like JK Rowling, and Shakespeare and classical literature like Homer and Virgil.
Then there's pap - Aristophanes, - what a waste of good paper that is!
Hee hee hee hee hee - I can see I will set off a spark here - anyway the Iliad is poetry so we ought to leave that out really!
