I read mostly Fantasy and some Sci-Fi (with a smattering of other books).
The me, bestsellers tend to be mainstream stuff that I'm not a huge fan of.
For example, I can't stand crime procedural shows or medical procedural shows on TV (OK, except House maybe). Not my thing. I find bestseller books tend to be the same thing - lots of Tom Clancy and whatever. Don't get me started on drivel like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons which I had to read for a history class. (It was to talk about whether it's OK to use bad history as fiction).
Anything I do read that is a bestseller tends to be one of the more popular mainstream fantasy authors that happens to make the list (Terry Brooks, R.A. Salvatore, etc). Rarely there is something that I think is actually really good for non-fantasy-genre-readers on the lists (G.R.R. Martin)
