On: Letting go of the idea of keeping up

[scruple]

Especially considering this "shitlit" label (which I love and immediately understand, because I read somewhere between 70 and 80 shitlit books last year). The shitlit that I read is totally inconsequential fiction that has no material bearing on life whatsoever. It's a form of entertainment that's analog, that's why I do it.

Same. Kindle Unlimited has an almost, uh, unlimited selection of light fluff detective fiction that's good for killing a few hours.

(Although I was pleasantly surprised by the DCI Logan series by JD Kirk which are actually amusing and fun to read.)
