#PopularBooks

People read popular books like sheep - they just follow along because everyone else is reading it. 

Some of the popular books I do enjoy, especially if they are unique and well written. Many of the bestsellers are just formula books. The author writes a profitable title and naturally wants to repeat the success and the profit. So, said author writes basically the same story, changing the characters and the location of the story. People buy the latest book because they liked the last one. 

What amazes me is that readers keep buying titles by the same author. How is it that they don't catch on? Is it just laziness? Is it just easier to pick up a book by a well known author than spend a bit of time searching out someone new?

Anyone have any ideas?
