Finding Best Seller Books Lists Everywhere
Back before the dawn of the internet and the current media age, there was only one best seller books list. Or at least, it seemed like there was only one because only one had the prestige to matter. Now, there are almost more lists than there are titles on them. Sales can be boosted by being on any kind of best seller list, not just the New York Times’. This is part of the reason that so many of them were created in the first place.
Books come in all sorts of formats that are not exactly like the original versions these days. EBooks can be ordered over the internet and downloaded onto your eReader where you can then look at the book without ever flipping a page. This increases the exposure of people to reading materials all over the world, and is environmentally friendly because it doesn’t require all those trees to be cut down. But it isn’t necessarily a good sign for the future of American readers.
Imagine a world where a government or some other nefarious group decides that a recently written tome is “dangerous”. Alternatively, an alien nation takes over the planet and decides that “War of The Worlds” is bad publicity. With little more than a mouse click, they could potentially erase it from existence. Oops! There are no hard copies, or paper versions so, like any other website or online data, it becomes history, or rather, dis-history, a small part of history that no longer is. Poof! Just like that, the material will never be read again. Whatever knowledge had been imparted has been deleted forever.
That can never happen with real books. Someone, somewhere, will have a copy of it. That is the beauty of real books. Their history will never truly disappear. With that warning in mind, we should encourage more lists! We need to create more reasons to sell more best sellers, or even worst sellers. There should even be lists of works being reissued that were once best sellers, or even poor sellers.
Like movies and TV shows, older books of every genre and review need to be reintroduced to the market. In addition, there should be a yearly live TV awards show for them. It would be cohosted by a Harry Potter look-alike and various real or fictional characters for each genre. John Tesh would play the music. Each entity sponsoring a Best Seller List would present their individual awards with a gilded statue of an open book presented to the author who sold the most copies. Somebody, please, get on this immediately.
Even when you get your news and information from other forms of media, best seller books offer entertainment. Keep up with the best selling books for a well-rounded intellectual life.
