what about music and acting (in movies, tv, etc.) that would be considered an art right?

I think that literature is both entertainment AND art, and I suppose the category can't be in two places at once! Although, some cinema and music is also deserving of being in the Art category. Many of the questions that come up in the Books & Authors section pertain to writing, not reading, and those should be where they are.
There are so many different levels to the subject matter that it is just hard to pick one spot for it. The more I think about it, the more confused it makes me!

The entertainment industry has gone so electronic bigtime, and is so varied that way, that books are considered an art form. Electronic entertainment is more popular worldwide than reading and only 30% of the entire world can read anyway. Sorry. Its sad but true. I've got a Masters degree in literature. I feel your pain.

Who says?nearly all the books on this earth written by various authors aim at instructing and entertaining the readers though the degree of instruction or entertainment may vary in proportion .there are so many books on music that have been authored.

Because most of the questions categorized under books and authors are worth answering.

Agreed they are entertaining. So, and I repeat you, why aren't they there? Who knows, maybe people think books are for education and only that. But I don't really know.

BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GREAT THEY GET THEIR OWN CATEGORY
Other than that, who knows, most people don't like to read. Sucks for them because it makes us smart.
