I'm confused . At least I think such a list should reflect what people are reading (buying) and not what a few elitarians thinks we should read... IMHO if lots of people read the same book, it's a recommendation of some sort...

Is the NYT Bestseller list not based on actual sales?

Though I can see a point if Oprah or the like are promoting crap, and everyone runs to the store buying it, causing crappy books to appear on bestseller lists... Like I said, a recommendation of some kind, not the most convincing one
