Only someone who read Harry Potter would say this.
Nope, like most of these books, I have not read it.
I say just pick the 500 top grossing books. Money is the moderator.
So what? That's what people who read books value.
Is there a difference between interesting art and popular art?
Yes, but everyone makes a different distinction and popular art is something like the intersection of lots of Venn Diagrams.
Plus, if a particular short-form TikTok grosses more than Star Wars it'll probably be pretty extraordinary. This is one reason why gross is a better metric than views.
gangnam style
Exactly! I knew you'd see my point eventually
Iiiiidiots, all of em
Ergo, the best books are written for dummies
Neeeeh
Nope again. prices matter
Just convert all the prices to gold then. That'll make it easier to go back to Bible times anyway.
Eeeeeeeeh, imma object. Share of disposable income better
ok, comrade
Oh heeeelll no. The plebs have no quality control
I'm fine with Harry Potter making the cut. It is the most popular story ever written after all.
I have mixed feelings about highly influential anachronistic bullshit, like Keynes and Marx. I'd lean towards omitting them, since no one in the field they belong to recommends reading them anymore. There are much better uses of one's time. However, they did basically shape the political and intellectual landscape for an entire century (and counting).
