The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Hi all,
Hmmm, this is a pretty open ended definition, and that's good. Not quite
sure what you mean by "genre fiction". 1984 and Brave New World are in
the curricula of many schools and they are Science Fiction. Riders of The
Purple Sage is a Western, but it is a good chronicle of the time. What
about historical novels like hmmm Stevenson's The Black Arrow or Richter's
Light In The Forest. I know the Richter book is definitely on reading
lists, maybe that is what lets it in? Hmmmm, very interesting. Erotica I
can understand and apologetics both fiction and nonfiction is certainly
understandable since it's a federal grant. All in all, I think that's a
fair definition, Pavi, at least as well as I understand it.
