Reese Witherspoon's book club wasn't really a book club — it was market research disguised as generosity. She gave authors platform exposure in exchange for a right of first refusal on their film rights, then cherry-picked the titles that sold best through her audience and turned them into movies worth hundreds of millions. The giveaway was the funnel. The real product was downstream, riding on a signal her readers had already paid for in attention and book sales.
