Books by all those authors named are boring stuff and one can fall asleep after a few pages.Publishers spend a lot of money on hyping up an author and his books with doctored reviews thrown in for good measure.If it catches the public eye most people buy these books in order to belong to the set who "have read the book" but actually haven't.Such books are left lying around the drawing room table or in the display book shelves to show off to visitors that their host/hostess has indeed read these books.It also affords conversation items in the cocktail circuits of the idle rich who have nothing better to do.Books are selected by publishers through a very arbitrary and random method which operates like a lottery for the new author.The publisher selects a book at at random and if one is lucky he gets a chance to be evaluated.Many intrinsically good books have been lost to readership because publishers think they know the business inside out and their word is final.Being money minded themselves they usually look for potential "best sellers" as per their own understanding of what makes a best seller or settle for already published authors to minimize risks. There are even "best seller writing software" available in the market today!!In such a scenario it is almost impossible to come across new books with fresh authors who could change the way people read.The book business has become like the film industry where every producer tries a tested formula but produce box office bombs.
