Worst Bestsellers Ever

[Scorpio]

I have only read one book by Jeffrey Archer, I believe it was his early novel Kane & Abel. It's probably his most famous novel and was absolutely dire. I doubt he got any better as a writer.

Archer is like the Michael Bay of literature; They have meagre talent, but good commercial instincts; They have a knack for creating crap that sells.

I think the author of the "Twilight" vampire & werewolf books fits into that category as well.

I've been into the underground most of my life so huge sales almost always mean that it's not for me. There are exceptions but in general I have no clue why people by crap if other people also buy it.

"Even if you take a giant star like Johnny Cash...the best records are the long forgotten ones...sound of JC 1962, songs of our soil etc."

Really?

What about The American Recordings produced by Rick Rubin?

These albums are right up there with the greatest ever produced.

Yep. I'm a metalhead by heart and hate country (including most of old Cash) but I love the American Recordings.
