Best seller lists are irrelevant to me and so is the NYT. Even if they try, best sellers lists say nothing to me. So, a foo-foo book club picked the book. Big deal. So, Oprah Winfry mentioned the book. Big deal. So, the publishers paid the stores to promote the book. Big deal.
If actual readers recommend the book I care. If I've read other books by the author and liked them, I care, but they've bit me a few times. I even sometimes pay attention to positive comments from other authors.
