Yeah, I got what they meant by “inexplicable,” it was clear they found it unworthy. My point was that it’s the readers who decide what is worthy of being a bestseller, not the Authors Guild.

I think the inexplicable part is because it’s apparently terrible. Many of my friends have read it (I haven’t) and said stuff like “the writing was horrible… but I couldn’t put it down”.

Scott or Teddy may know something I don’t as I had no idea realize the DOJ has filed suit against the Authors Guild. You know, the organization that is supposed to rep authors?

“…inexplicably topped the New York Times bestseller list.” Oh, silly me. I thought it got there because millions of readers bought it.

Perhaps Scott Turow and his sycophants should just tell the American people what they can read, since clearly, on our own, we are incapable of making a proper bestseller.

Teddy Roosevelt would recognize instantly that people like of Scott Turow don’t represent actual authors, but a legacy cartel
