Re: From the impression I gather from amazon... nossy Send a noteboard - 16/04/2012 09:20:19 PM
"Mainstream" apparently means books on politics, cooking, some other sort of how-to, and a few miscellaneous titles like the shades of gray series, twilight, hunger games, girl with the dragon tattoo, etc. None of these interest me, so I don't think mainstream books do either.

Um, I'm not sure that's an accurate picture. I'm talking about normal books that one might find in any super store or convenience store. Books that somehow make it big.

Of course, I could be wrong and mainstream actually refers to something different... In which case I am somewhere between disliking it and having no opinion regarding it.

It looked like a pretty accurate list of books that make it big and into convenience stores, to me. Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:04:09 PM 752 Views
