I have been saying just that for years, Barry.  People write great
literature to entertain.  They want the readers to be amused, or shocked,
or thrilled, or delighted, or awed, or sad.  They want their characters to
live on, their stories to become etched in our minds.  They are turning
over in their graves as we use them to teach HOTS.  Articles, on the other
hand, particularly academic ones, are written to instruct, to impart, to
convince, to enlighten.  For them we really need the full set of HOTS,
because we read them for our vocations and avocations, our exams and our
professional development.
Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you...."  for years
I have been largely ignored.  Start laughing people!
