Lately whenever I enter a book store in Italy, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of fiction romance for girls and womens. I get 3/4 of readers are womens but all I'm left with is a gigantic pile of nonfiction shit I'm not interested about, I know for sure most of it will leave nothing to me. Increasingly way too many people attempted to sell a bunch of nonfiction books, and it shows there amounts of unsold copies. Most of them being a marketing political campaign. There gems for sure but it's becoming increasingly harder to find them. Also the only fiction books I'm interested about are sci-fi, and the dedicated space is soo small that you feel a weirdo with strange hobbies. But I swear to you, cause I read a fantasy novel from my wife's selection, that a saga like The Expanse is 100 times better written than all that new shit. Finally rest of the book store is now dedicated to manga and graphic novels. Not bad I love them but the ratio is overwhelming as well | ||
