“Every day, we pay lip service to democratic values and then again and again make undemocratic choices in the marketplace. Bestsellers are bestsellers because we buy them: nothing more.”
Lisa Adams, Why We Read What We Read: A Delightfully Opinionated Journey Through Bestselling Books

“Sometimes authors treat their books are burgers. More they want to sell, more spices they put in.”
Sudhir Mittalittal
