The sales of genre books\u0097\u2014lowbrow fare, such as romance novels, that critics contend have little literary value\u0097\u2014have increased dramatically over the last five years. In fact, an analysis of the books stocked in bookstores shows that the ratio of titles in the classic literature category\u2014\u0097which includes books with high literary value by such authors as Dickens, Dostoyevsky, and Faulkner\u2014\u0097to titles in the genre category has decreased over the same period. In addition, average sales per title in the genre category have increased greatly over the last five years.
