<Bestsellers are always junk.... it's a tautology.....

There was a post here about how incredible it is that after purchasing a best seller book, the shopper was enthralled that she was advised to purchase another book from the best seller list.

The same person had described herself as "a shopping machine" in an earlier post.

The irony is the book she bought and the book she was advised to get are 25% less at a rival web service.

Completely untrue. When Mason and Dixon came out, the Amazon 100 featured Mason and Dixon, Gravity, V and even a Gravity companion on their list. (The Amazon 100 is close enough to being a bestseller list imo)
