But what is the difference between literature and journalism

Summary

This quote suggests that the main distinction between literature and journalism lies in their reception. It humorously implies that journalism is often considered monotonous or uninteresting, making it "unreadable." On the other hand, literature is seen as the more engaging of the two, yet paradoxically it tends to be read less frequently. The quote's underlying message may critique the public's general disinterest in reading literature, despite its potential for captivating storytelling and thought-provoking ideas.
