Note that it is titled Bestseller list, not Best Quality or Finest Literature list. Bestseller = great literaure is an oxymoron -- always has been and always will be.

Just like equating the New York Post with great newspaper or Fox News with impartiality.

All any bestseller list indicates is that more copies of the listed books were sold than copies of any other book during the past 7 days.
