I'm not usually one to get heated over this pretentious fucking dichotomy between "literature" and "other," but if I have to hear one more person use the L-word when referring to Cassandra Clare's body of work, I'm going to burn their fucking bachelor of arts diploma.

Like what you like, but don't jump to the conclusion that you're a connoisseur of high art or that "it's really just down to personal preference if I like YA genre fiction."

That is all.

The entire series was a Christmas present from a misguided family member. I read it because of a sense of obligation but also being ignorant to what it was. I should have stopped, I really, really should have; but I finished it.

It's a joke trying to get someone to ask "what is ligma," usually by saying someone has ligma, and when they ask, the reply is "ligma balls;" it sounds like "lick my balls."
