If you can put it into words, what is it that you would say are the markers of a "good" (where good means rich or literary) book?
How much of it is craft, or the very beauty of the language use? Can an idea-rich, thoughtful piece still be literary even if it is very clunky or ugly (looking at you, Kant)?
How much of it is ideawork or theme? Can a piece that has a masterful aesthetic and gorgeous language-use, but is otherwise vapid and without intent, be literary or valuable?
