I struggle with these terms too. I read ”literary fiction” pretty exclusively, which begets the problem that when people ask “So, what kind of books do you read” and you reply “literary fiction,” there’s no way not to sound like an asshole. So instead I’ll say I mostly read novels about alcoholism and divorce.
