What he said.

Best sellers are just like blockbuster movies or popular tv shows. As someone mentioned previously, popularity is in no way directly related to quality.

And while a great deal of the list is crap, you have things like the Kite Runner on it as well.

Personally, I don't really concern myself with best seller lists in the slightest. As Astra said, I go by other sources of info.

American Idol is pretty popular, too.... but that doesn't mean I want anything to do with it.
