Confusing title..

I guess 'pirated' in this sense means book that is the most downloaded and not being part of any trade transaction.

I just wonder from where they took their data, I don't think that torrent sites, direct download sites, news groups, p2p, p2m, ... that any of these whould provide any data to the press willingly.

So they based it on what trolls download most, and as trolls don't know how to find anything meaningful they post something 'cool' on their social websites or blogs so other trolls just like them might spread the virus farther.

You just have to look on the titles above to understand everything about this certain group of people, the books are either fiction bestsellers (people thinking .. so many people read and 'talk' about it so it has to be good) or people trying to satisfy their basic urges (things relating to sex).

I would like to see titles like the ones mentioned by Mortimer Adler, books which you could read again and again and always find something new in them. Practical books (how to.. ) have their merits, but ultimate goal should be enhancing your mind state and I won't be able to do that with any of Stephanie Meyer's works (or any other from the list for that matter), will I?
