Genre Wars

Today's rant...er, post...isn't as personal as the last, though I tend to take it personally, like most things I care about. (Because I'm insane, you see.) This one was triggered a few days ago during my break at work, when I was taking advantage of my meager fifteen minutes to read a little as well as scarf down my sandwich. The other person in the break room asked what sort of book I was reading, with the preface that his other job is at a bookstore. (Because otherwise, why would he care, right?) "Young Adult Fantasy," I answered. "Oh, Science Fiction." "No, fantasy." "Okay, Science Fiction."

( ARGH )
