Foreword.

Ending up to purchase a bestseller is often a quick and easy way to decide “which book to buy or read” so that we would not waste money and time if we assume that “a bestseller is probably a good book”. Bestsellers can also help us stay in the loop, be trendy, and keep up with what a lot of people are talking about.

But now, let’s think about the less-known books for a moment.

Picking a less-known book somehow can lead us to unique ideas.

It also helps us see things from different perspectives; common ones, rare ones, or even ones we might disagree with. This type of book might be unique and not fit the mainstream taste. However, it might have qualities that people haven’t noticed as the book isn’t largely well-known.

When a book is not that popular, it doesn’t mean the book is not good at all.

There might just be not enough promotion, less catchy title, less famous author, or it might be the contents that might not match general tastes. In fact, just like bestsellers, there are plenty of less-known books with great contents.

Afterword.

In the end, there’s no right or wrong choice between bestsellers and less-known books. It can be a good idea to read both to have a well-rounded reading experience.
