6. Another huge problem with the best seller lists I've

noticed is that there are a lot of people who only read one or two books a year, and they'll generally go for the most hyped book at the time. I've learned to be very cautious about reading those books, because they often disappoint me.

And yes, Stephen King is one author whose books will sell many, many copies. So unless you already happen to like him, you may not want to automatically buy anything of his. For me, his work has become hit or miss, and I get them out of the library, as I do most books. I can't afford to buy all that I read, and I don't have the space for that many books. Just love the public library.
