I dunno, not much of that would float my boat either, but I've seen 'worse' of this type of lists...and then there are quite a lot of the public who I imagine don't read books at all. Or don't read anything much. Any reading is better than no reading, and these lists don't mean that the same readers aren't reading other less popular titles as well.

Personally, I very rarely frequent any library other than my brick academic and online academic ones, so I wouldn't feature on this radar at all, whether I read Chat magazine or popular novelists or Shakespeare or obscure textbooks or anything else.
