"Mainstream"? Who reads mainstream lit?

The science fiction/fantasy market is bigger than literary fiction. (Though smaller than romance, mystery, and religious fiction.)

*real* people read mainstream books -- bookshops and charity shops, especially, are just *full* of real people books.

and yeah, i include romance, mystery, religious etc. in real people books because if you're going to Otherise something, do it properly.

also you're right SF people read more than real people weight for weight, but there are more real people so i GUESS it more than balances out. that's what it looks like in bookshops, anyway.

i also presume everyone has seen http://fora.tv/2008/05/08/Neal_Stephens ... rary_Genre

ninja edit: if stephenson's lecturer-drone does not turn you on, a transcript is at http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?Page ... ventId=728
