What's weird is, they've stopped bothering with NYT bestsellers or even USA Today. It's just these three styles. Sometimes, manly man thrillers like Lee Child. That's it. It was a few years back, I went to get a Daniel Silva novel in paperback, had gotten several there before. Nope, never showed.

Same with Richard Osman's fourth novel. I'd gotten the first two there in particular. I bought Carter Beats the Devil there forever ago. Nope, nothing like that now. Patterson is like bookshelf kudzu. At one point, they had 22 distinct books of his. Choked out anything else.

Last month, the manager stopped as I was browsing. When asked, I pointed out that other people read books. There used to be options here, but they've driven me to Amazon. Or driving 45 miles to Barnes & Noble or occasional indies down in Louisville. He was aghast. But corporate dictates selection.

I think the ease of discovery of books in drug stores, grocery stores, etc made it easier for anyone to find something. I remember buying Lake Wobegon Days in a Publix in Florida when it first hit paperback. Now, there are few options and mostly hard to find in the real world by chance.
