Serious readers don't need bestseller lists (god forbid!).
Serious readers don't need fiction awards (irrelevance is now proven).
Serious readers don't need recommendations (who would be in the position to judge?).
Serious readers have a state-of-the-art selection and vetting process.
Serious readers can sense a book being a good read (or better: a good book) in ways which must be mysterious for us mere mortals.
Serious readers read serious books only and are super-human.
