The future of American Lit? He writes thrillers. These are not exactly high literature or meaningful literature that every American should be able to access. Like romance novels, they are quick, entertaining reads with very little staying power. Good gads, we hardly need a law that ensures we remain exposed to his books.
I'm all for these books--I read them, enjoy them and whatnot. I like romance, I like thriller, I like genre that is fluff. But Amazon not discounting a few titles or making Hachette ship them instead of them buying and warehousing is hardly a trauma. I'd hope that lawmakers have something better to do with their time. Who will hold hearings on baseball if Congress is off worrying about whether the masses have access to Patterson's books????
