Took from my Lit proff at Brown U.

Book - unapologetically commercial cashgrab ex. The Hunger Games

Fiction - a writing with some artistic merits but ultimately still dependent on commercial success/editorial approval to determine if more like it shall be made. ex. American Pastoral

Literature - a work with fewer commercial concerns and more artistic concerns ex. One Hundred Years of Solitude

Belles-Lettres - artistic projects made entirely for artistic concerns. ex. Ulysses

Classics - Works more than 500 years old. Because they can no longer be produced, they are the rarest and most valuable form of written material. Ex. The Odyssey

It sounds like the shitty demarcation that /tv/ has with film-flick-cinema

Arbitrary classifications. Why 500 years? Shakespeare isn't 500 years old, but he's surely a "classic" in the non-Classical sense.

The others are just as arbitrary. How much artistic concern is too much? What if you don't know if the book was made "for money"? One Hundred Years of Solitude surely made gobs of cash; does that means its artistic merit is relatively less than [insert any notoriously shitty 19th century vanity novel of your choice]?

Overall, unscientific, full of holes and borderline useless. Not even worth mentioning at a cocktail party.

This method of categorization is truly awful. Drop this class immediately, anon.
