Do not be afraid of facing "just_another_pseudosophisticated_script_about_reading". Overblown critics, or easy-made commendations are not always essential to any annotation attempt. In fact, the term "best-seller" of the title is in quotations, so a derisive tone is given to this over-estimated clause. It is really ironic how "The Little Prince" of Antoine de Saint-Exupery condemns the way of estimating anything judging from just numbers. And "The Little Prince" is a book described by a huge number, in particular, over 50 millions. I don't think that he would really like this outline.
Honestly, when you finish a book for which you think that it was really qualitative, try to summarize the facts that drove you to this conclusion. A new perspective of living perhaps? The plot maybe? Or a radical message that it may release? It is really sad the fact that many best sellers are really considered as "radical" books. And what is radical? Something that is not usual. As for me, a book that the majority of people regard it as a new far-out movement, is not radical at all. With a few exceptions of course, because some writers are so talented that they can affect any kind of personality with just their simple expression. But still, a commercially successful book is usually a well-made and manneristic recipe. A design that is predestinated to make you love it. Are you still thinking that you are a stern reader when you favor any most-read book?
I won't continue with such abominating speculations. I am not even a strict reader, since I read anything, from literary rubbish (yes they exist!) to really priceless writings. The real point? ...Is what they bring on. What they "provoke" from inside (or outwardly?) to you. The thoughts that are going to follow are just personal reviews, tending to set one thinking about the value of any kind of book.
