[quote="AdAstrα"][quote="FlipMode"]Don't get recognized? She is probably the most well known author of recent years next to J.K Rowling.
More shameful is that better / other equally good books go unnoticed because people read THG and then think they have mastered the dystopian genre.[/quote]
This. While I like THG, I do think it's overrated.
Also, J.K Rowling is a woman.[/quote]
I wasn't saying it was overrated, just that if people like it then why do they choose to ignore so many other books in the genre? Just because some man in a suit is not marketing it to them? People are just so afraid to make decisions for their selves these days, only reading books if they get extremely popular... If we all lived like that, nothing would ever get successful because everyone would be waiting for the next big thing, with no one to discover it.
It's like eating a strawberry and liking it, then never eating any other type of fruit for the rest of your life.

We could name names all day long XD the overall point is the shame of it all.
I mean, I get it. It's hard to make something very popular. But that does not make it any less of a shame. Ho-hum
