I was reading the thread asking which are you top five fantasy authors. Oponn has expressed disappointment that Eddings is at the top.
Reading that thread has inspired me to ask this question: Why is it that crap always floats to the top? I mean, why are Eddings and so on at the top? Sell the most? Why is Star Wars episode poo outselling something like Amelie?
So why is it that the quality ( Garcia Marquez, shakespeare, Hemingway, Joyce and so on ) always have the more limited audience?
I have some ideas, but I want to hear all your views
