I totaly agree with Diamond18 on this matter.

And that would be...? A genre of one isn't really a genre... After all, since LotR started the Fantasy genre (or at least made it popular and profitable) it doesn't seem like a terrible thing to categorize it with it's successors. In a way, tt's like saying that because some descendents aren't as noble or intelligent (etc.) as their forefathers, the connection should not be acknowledged.

You would just be selecting books on qualety and in your opinion Lotr is great, but others might think that it is crap because there has been put to much work in it and they just want to read a book. (can you beleive that? They really excist. I know a couple of those dimwit's myself.) So there would be an endless discussion over wich book where. And riot's might brake out. (They will defenetly do when Lotr is considered a minor book.)
So what you are doing is in a way just discrimenating books. You should not put books in boxes. It is cruel to the writers and readers and it shows no respect for literature.

P.S. They could place Lotr on the highest shelf so that it rizes above all the other books tough [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
