Twilight and Philip Roth? Most interesting classification. Thanks for sharing this photo that reflects the... shall I say... grassroots sentiments towards the 'literary scene.' ;)
Without the disclaimer I might have thought I was being warned against leaving my copy of "Scats and Tracks of North America: A Field Guide to the Signs of Nearly 150 Wildlife Species."
However, remember the saying about how one person's trash is another person's treasure...
Thanks for the comments - I just knew you were all going to enjoy this! I've only read one book by Philip Roth (American Pastoral) and, while not exactly a fan, don't think I'd put him in the same category as Twilight ;-)
No, I don't think the standards-setter was attempting to classify Roth books as Twilight quality, BUT, he does dither and blather alot about penises from what I understand. I've only read one of his books and was not impressed. But what do I know?
Lol! I kind of felt this way about the library at the hospital - so many shit books! Thought if I found one I'd like to read and felt like bringing it home to read, I'd just replace it with something else but so many romance novels.
While I recognize that Roth books aren't shit qualitatively, they are certainly shit to me. What a bore. Except for The Plot Against America. I liked that one.
Ha! Glad they defined it!
ReplyDeleteWe have one of these in our office kitchen, but the essential requirement is not followed. :) Thanks for my morning laugh.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic!

ReplyDeleteBeing that forthright I'm surprised the list is so short! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeletePerfect! LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love the guidelines!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I've never read Roth but I've always wanted to. Maybe I should think twice ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's harsh. One readers sh*% is another's great book!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. Not sure on Philip Roth but I definitely agree with Twilight!
ReplyDeleteThat totally cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like many are 'exchanging' just taking!
ReplyDeleteBahaha, best sign ever.

Care - I agree with you on Roth. American Pastoral was enough for me...
DeleteI am still laughing!!!!!!!!!!! That is perfect and so true!

ReplyDeleteLisa - I'm so happy you aren't hanging around the hospital any more! Hope your son is continuing his recovery at home.
DeleteThis made me laugh out loud :)

ReplyDeleteThomas - I only read American Pastoral, but that was more than enough Roth for my lifetime!
