You are very much not alone. I went to a sf/f con a few weeks ago, and all the book-rec panels were pretentious literary sf. (Except the urban fantasy panel, wherein we talked about everything from fun but trashy paranormal romance to American Gods.)

At any rate, I'm right there with you--I'm glad somebody's doing highbrow stuff with speculative fiction, but it's not my cup of tea to write OR read. I'll stick with paperbacks and YA fiction, thanks.

PS: I am a former English major. Just 'cause I get it doesn't mean I like it or, more importantly, will pay for it.
