Apparently you don't understand what is meant by 'insight', so I fear that any answer to that question would be lost on you.

Here's a weird thing. I see lots of discussion about a certain set of books, I can't list them but some are mentioned in this thread, you all know which books they are if you are on here most days, but everybody's list might be a little different.

Thing is I often see them on the "to read" lists and yet with /lit's smallish population how can so many be on the "to read" when there are "discuss" threads about the same books with many replies?

Also why are there so few average books in "to read" lists? No one admits to reading say Bernard Cornwell or James Patterson for instance but I am sure people must read some "not worth cool points" books? I was going to write hipster not cool but I am never sure what one is, too frickin old for 4chan sometimes :(

Is it their formulaic writing (as in their books are seen as the same story told in a different fashion over and over again using a recurring character(s)) are unworthy of discussion because they are not open to much literary criticism either way if it tells a good story?
