Tipping Fiction

Would somebody please tell me what the hell The Tipping Point is doing on the Amazon.com Literature and Fiction bestseller's list? Does this book just plain old need more publicity, or did someone discover that Malcolm Gladwell made up all his research and the publisher moved it into fiction on the sly?

Honestly. I really liked that book, but not because I thought it was a work of literature... or fiction. As a work of fiction, it would simply suck. And as a work of Literature... well, I'm not sure I can even know what that is. I hate that there is such a category. How can we know what literature is? My ego tells me to yammer on about this. My superego tells me to shut the hell up. And my id would like to know what the hell is going on.

Blessings all, even (or especially) Mr. Gladwell, on whom I wish no ill will.
