Its not society, it's the people pirating books. They have forced publishing houses to aggressively market books just to generate enough profit to keep afloat. They need to pay the minor writers, the proof readers, cover artists, printing and production costs, advertising, a huge team of staff...

Publishers would probably go for that, since often Chainstores force agreements where they don't face loss for shrinkage (so if you steal a book from B&N, they just won't pay Penguin or whoever for that book at all). This kind of Just in Time inventory management would help stop this shrinkage.

Enjoying Fantasy/Sci-fi is not comparable at all to enjoying shitty popular fiction/YA/whatever.

That is like saying "Hey I can understand the Adam Sandler and Will Farrell fans, I mean I watch old shitty 80's sci fi B-movies all the time."

I think Thoreau said it best when he wrote:

>I think that having learned our letters we should read the best that is in literature, and not be forever repeating our a-b-abs, and words of one syllable, in the fourth or fifth classes, sitting on the lowest and foremost form all our lives. Most men are satisfied if they read or hear read, and perchance have been convicted by the wisdom of one good book, the Bible, and for the rest of their lives vegetate and dissipate their faculties in what is called easy reading. There is a work in several volumes in our Circulating Library entitled "Little Reading," which I thought referred to a town of that name which I had not been to. There are those who, like cormorants and ostriches, can digest all sorts of this, even after the fullest dinner of meats and vegetables, for they suffer nothing to be wasted. If others are the machines to provide this provender, they are the machines to read it. They read the nine thousandth tale about Zebulon and Sophronia, and how they loved as none had ever loved before, and neither did the course of their true love run smooth- at any rate, how it did run and stumble, and get up again and go on! how some poor unfortunate got up on to a steeple, who had better never have gone up as far as the belfry; and then, having needlessly got him up there, the happy novelist rings the bell for all the world to come together and hear, O dear! how he did get down again!

There has not been a single great thread in the entire short history of this miserable board.

People who consistently read great literature do so alone and keep it to themselves. People who love to fawn over authors like rock stars and advertise their current horrible taste in reading material are uniformly despicable, unlikable human beings.

In other words, this board was doomed from the beginning. And would it kill some of you chubby librarians to flash a little cleavage from time to time? Christ.

>For my part, I think that they had better metamorphose all such aspiring heroes of universal noveldom into man weather-cocks, as they used to put heroes among the constellations, and let them swing round there till they are rusty, and not come down at all to bother honest men with their pranks. The next time the novelist rings the bell I will not stir though the meeting-house burn down. "The Skip of the Tip-Toe-Hop, a Romance of the Middle Ages, by the celebrated author of 'Tittle-Tol-Tan,' to appear in monthly parts; a great rush; don't all come together." All this they read with saucer eyes, and erect and primitive curiosity, and with unwearied gizzard, whose corrugations even yet need no sharpening, just as some little four-year-old bencher his two-cent gilt-covered edition of inderella- without any improvement, that I can see, in the pronunciation, or accent, or emphasis, or any more skill in extracting or inserting the moral. The result is dulness of sight, a stagnation of the vital circulations, and a general deliquium and sloughing off of all the intellectual faculties. This sort of gingerbread is baked daily and more sedulously than pure wheat or rye-and-Indian in almost every oven, and finds a surer market.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jul 1 12:32:10 2012 No.2768983 I'm still unsure what this book is, exactly. Where did it come from? How long has it been popular? All of a sudden people were just talking about. But it still doesn't seem as popular as Twilight or Hunger Games or some shit.

You're forgetting that we have our fair share of dumb people too. Reality tv trash is just as popular with the masses in Europe as it is in America.

>>2768465

Yeah it's popular here. Doesn't get entire tables devoted to it like the OP, but it's still popular. Number 1 in paperback chart last time I was in Waterstones. Got the train back from university, girl sitting next to me was reading it (again appallingly slowly, and the page she was on was only email extracts).

Overheard girls talking about it almost every time I've gone down the city. Never heard anyone talk about it at university because, like I said, we have our fair share of dumb people too and they're the ones reading it.

Economics have changed. People either need to evolve with it or get out. There is a printing press in almost every home. Next we'll have 3D printers. Watch what happens when physical goods can no longer be sold. This is a warning shot that things are changing, they will not ever go back.

Come back when you can screw up the ECONOMY and be able to pirate and print a car.
cunt, you still have no idea what you are talking about.
what? do we sell and use organs for everything? COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN PRINT A CARTON OF MILK OR A TELEVISION OR A COMPUTER OR A PACK OF CIGS
