Okay, not utterly. Three Cups of Tea may not be the best written book, but it is non-fiction, and details one man's wholly admirable quest to build schools for girls all over Pakistan and Afghanistan. And the Wimpy Kid books are adorable for their target age group.
I'm more likely to puke over the Plain, Levin and Beck books being on the list, than the Twilight books. At least the Twilight books are accurately marked as Fiction. ;o)

I'm curious how accurately that compares to fifty years ago. For one, I believe that the sources of data were less comprehensive 60 years ago. I also wonder if the types of reading have changed; at that time, people read novels serialized in science fiction magazines, magazines that barely exist any more. If the whole of the teen romance market is the same size, does it matter if one series hits the bestsellers? (I reminded of one library system that had no inter-library movement in romances, because they had bulk codes in the system. Once they started inputting titles and authors, the stats changed hugely.)

I think it is not easy to compare over decades. For instance, I'm not sure that Agatha Christie ever made any regular bestseller list that have been compiled in these threads. So, there might have been biases against most genre novels (inluding mysteries, science fictions, maybe even westerns). The usual list (not ones from USA Today) are composed of hard cover books. Books at some point become Evergreens, so even if they sell well, they aren't put on the list because they are too old. Harry Potter books were taken off when it was decided that children's books should not be on the regular best-seller list. We can't be sure of surveying techniques, either. Until the last 25 years, chain book stores were much less common and computerization almost nil. If poetry ever became a bestseller it went on the non-fiction list. Old lists still have an occasional new translation of the Bible.
I don't think anyone has really tracked fiction in magazines. It seems to me that Dune was serialized before it came out in book form (and Charles Dickens too). There are, however, LT people who are conscientiously putting in individual issues of magazines. (I haven't done this yet, although I have put in calendars and maps with ISBN numbers).
