I'm a married adult male who has five children of adult age. I'm a college graduate with strong interests in literature and writing. I'm retired but used to teach in public schools. I enjoy finding interesting facts about authors and their works. I love poetry, write a bit of it and journal extensively. I like "the classics" (Doestoyevsky, Woolf, etc.) but love a good Stpehen King or Clive Barker as well. I hate pretension of all sorts and can't abide pompous assholes. Good literature should be used to teach us about our world, ourselves, our society, our humanity; if you use it make yourself an intellectual snob you're wasting everyone's time...especially your own.
