so easy to publish a book. And, with computers, authors like Patterson can crank one out every month it seems.

I just wished bookstores could have two sections - Worth reading and not worth reading.

But, aren't you getting more picky? I am. Like I love first person fiction. Hate books that have 10,000 words a page all scrunched up. Love easy prose without endless description. Also, starting to get into foreign fiction - actually so much better than our authors, in my opinion.

Maybe you should just say, this month it's political non-fiction, for instance. *or anything you really care about. And find the best highly recommended books in that genre?
