It's more interesting to me that people are picking the books they want to read by looking at a list of what everyone else wants to read.

With fiction, that makes some sense to me. (Although, if I hate vampire books why would I care that a million people bought them last month?)

With nonfiction, it doesn't make sense at all. If you are interested in a topic, look for a book about it. If you aren't interested in the topic, why would you suddenly become interested just because some percentage of the general public is?
