I know what you are both saying, but I still think that is a good thing. Maybe a 'hype' book will inspire them to read something else. Then again, maybe not Some books that I enjoy would probably be included in the books that you are referring to. I enjoy them, but they aren't the only things that I read.
If I read on any public transport, I can only read really easy books as you end up getting distracted so much, so I doubt that I would look very cool:lol:
