realistic-fiction-boring

I agree with Kilgore Trout about realistic novels and their accumulations of nit-picking details. In Trout__ novel, The Pan-Galactic Memory Bank, the hero is on a space ship two hundred miles long and sixty-two miles in diameter. He gets a realistic novel out of the branch library in his neighborhood. He reads about sixty pages of it, and then he takes it back. The librarian asks him why he doesn__ like it, and he says to her, __ already know about human beings.
