Is ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ an easy read? It was to me, but then I remember discussing it in my literature class. I missed a lot, how I do not know -- I did read the book. Even after spending a day or two discussing it I was thinking, whatever. Now the movie, that opened my eyes. I can see why some people consider that book a classic.
Anyway, hard read – poetry. And you never know if you got the right image.
Is the entire SF genre considered easy reading? I kind of think so, at least I do not remember reading any that I would consider a “hard read”. So then the question becomes is SF a lower form of literature? I know some would say so, I still remember hearing this. Since fiction is comic books without pictures.
I guess it boils down to perspective. A beautiful thing “perspective” – everyone has one.
