Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel's only morality.
Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.
A book might be written on the injustice of the just.
Books can capture injustices in a way that stays with you and makes you want to do something about them. That's why they are so powerful.

It is worse than immoral, it's a mistake.
A book must have moral purpose to be any good. Why, I don't know.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written.
Books follow morals, and not morals books.
