Re: Does "books" mean "fiction"?
I’m not following the implication here that non-fiction is somehow not "literature." I’m thinking of great theological or philosophical texts, or political treatises. It’s hard for me to consider, for example, Critique of Pure Reason, or The Ethics, or Essays Concerning Human Understanding, as anything other than literature. Or the Gettysburg Address for that matter. Certainly it seems to me there’s room on a literature forum for discussions of great non-fiction literary works.
Just a thought from a new guy making his first post. Am I wrong?
