if the lens you view novels through is art then this will upset you. If the lens you’re viewing them through is as information that is to be ingested, this will do just fine.
Books are allowed to be verbose and take risks in language, but I’d argue that in transferable information it’s inefficient.
I mean, that's kind of the whole problem. What is the point of ingesting The Great Gatsby if not for its artistry? It's fiction, what information do you get out of it?
