> One should never read literature for it's plot.

Says who? What if I want to read literature for the plot? What if the excitement of what's going to happen is what I care about, and the characters are just a side thing?

What if some days I want to read for plot, other days I want world building, other days I want character development?

> Learning the plot of a literature book should have no affect in its enjoyment.

And if it does affect it? Should we tell people not to read that book?
