Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

I like pretty much all literature.

And I would not call Sci-Fi or Fantasy or Historical Fiction a literature genre. But perhaps there's a confusion of terminology. The term literature is much harder to define and should not refer to reading books in general.

Novel is a similar nebulous term.

Genre ≠ Literature. In fact, Literature is opposite of Genre Fiction.


For example, Lord of the Rings is literature, while The Wheel of Time is Genre fiction.


This is not to say that I dislike Genre Fiction. Just that it has it's place, and Genre Fiction is not Literature. It takes a great work to rise above the barrier between genre fiction and true literaturedom.

And the thing is? No one person can make that decision, because one person's definition of junk is another's definition of treasure. But that doesn't mean everything is equally good or bad, and that we can't say anything about anything (the worst thing that has come out of Postmodernism, though many good things have come as well), because there are standards we can uphold them too, and there are qualitative differences. Just not necessarily quantitative.

I don't really have a favorite literary genre. I'll read pretty much anything, assuming I'm even in the mood to read something.

I prefer my fiction on film. Reading is for edification, which is why 99% of what I read is history or biography. I think I read maybe one novel a year, and even then what fiction I do read tends to be classical mythology.
