Let me start by saying that Snooki is a New York Times Best Seller. Enough said?<\/p>\n
I have been perusing bookstores and libraries for some time now, and lately everywhere I turn there seems to be a New York Times Best Seller.<\/p>\n
When I think New York Times, esteemed writers come to mind, people who deserve such an honor like Stieg Larsson, James Patterson, or Kathryn Stockett.<\/p>\n
Not today. In fact, some of the most inconsequential celebrities, fashion designers, perfume makers, actors, singers, are in the ranks with some of the most well-known authors who have received a coveted New York Time\u2019s Best Seller distinction.<\/p>\n
Granted, a New York Times Best Seller is a publication that reaches a certain number of sales, and extracts millions of dollars from loyal bookworms who catapult the book\u2019s popularity into a bestseller. However, I feel there should be a divide between authors who can actually write and authors who have a ghost writer behind their books.<\/p>\n
Reality stars, Real Housewives and teen moms have become infamous for their respective roles in society, but now they also have become recurring members of The New York Times<\/em>Best Seller\u2019s List.<\/p>\n What happened to the times when acclaimed poets, writers and literary masters were in a category of their own? When receiving a New York Time\u2019s Best Seller award adorned the covers of a literary masterpiece like a gem? Those days are gone.<\/p>\n Today, phony wannabe writers who pay someone to assemble their ridiculous ideas are grouped with writers who take days upon days, experiences and real ideas to finish their work.<\/p>\n Kardashian Konfidential<\/em> by the reality star clan Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, A Shore Thing by Snooki, and Fabulicious by real housewife Teresa Giudice are just three of the empty, waste-of-paper books that have polluted bookstores and lowered the quality of a New York Times Best Seller stamp forever.<\/p>\n All I am advocating is for The New York Times<\/em> to regain control of their once coveted accolade because they are diminishing its value and promoting mediocrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let me start by saying that Snooki is a New York Times Best Seller.
