Why should this not work in book writing?

Well fine, if you want the whole industry to be just that. Well, hell why not have our novels sponsored by Coca-Cola while we're at it and have every other page an advert? I mean, it's just literature after all, it's not important. It's just
entertainment. It's not like reading is
important or anything.
Coming soon, The Grapes of Wraith 2 - The Wrathening (by a faceless conglomeration of US sitcom writers hiding behind the face of a celebrity)
next up: 1985 - The Year After (by David Hasselhof)
If you're seriously suggesting fiction and literature should be run like the soulless TV & movie industry then I have to wonder if you have actually read a book before, if that is the esteem with which you hold literature.
