I saw someones profile on goodreads, she was putting away 100 - 200 of those cheap supernatural romance books per year. Reading at that level isnt dumb, the books arent making her stupid. That I consider the books stupid isnt ending the world.

Pulp, a dime novels weren't better but often you could find gems in scifi and thrillers.

Expensive bestsellers had the worst quality/price ratio.

Funny you mention that, because apparently the worst "The Shadow" and "Doc Savage" stories are coming from James Patterson dressed up as bestsellers. And I am a massive massive fan of their pulp outings.
