For years I joked that it was a law that every Goodwill store had to have a copy of a Twilight or Hunger Games book on the shelves at all times. Every time I go to one I check and nearly every time they still do all these years later.
Or one of the Left Behind books.
- encrypted_bird 2y agoHey, the Hunger Games are actually really good. I derided it for years until one time I was in the hospital for a few weeks, I got immensely bored and decided to try it out. I was hooked.
- bawolff 2y agoThe main issue is that pretty much everyone who wants to read it has already.
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoIt's young adult focused which means there a new crop of readers every year.
- encrypted_bird 2y agoAlso, even if it had run out of readers, how is it the story's fault? That's what happens to most long-running series. Not every story has to be among the legends to be considered good.
- jccalhoun 2y agoI'm not judging. I read them and enjoyed them. I'm just observing that they sold so many that they are very common.
- encrypted_bird 2y agoAh, then clearly I misinterpreted your comment. Apologies, I thought you were saying that it can be considered low-quality in the same vein as the Twilight series books.
