Ghost Writing

When it comes to the idea of ghost writing i have mixed feelings. In certain instances the use of ghost writers to create a work is in my opinion a positive process. When reading autobiographies of celebrities or important figures, it is acceptable to use a ghost writer. Most celebrities would not be able to create a well written work, nor would they have the time it takes to sit down and write an entire book. The problem of ghost writing comes about when these people are employed to write novels. I am the type of person that likes to know the person that has written the books that I read and knowing how extensively ghost writers are used one can never really know if their favorite author is actually the one named on the cover. The deceit needs to stop and if a book is ghost written, they should be given a spot on the cover. The person that has come up with the ideas for the book and has laid out the plans for publishing can still have the most recognition, but the name of his/her ghost writer should be known also. If a book is well written the name on the cover is not as important, but it would still be nice to know whose work I am reading. Also, why is it acceptable in the literature world for this type of deceit when in most other parts of society it would be looked down upon and taken as being the easy way out?
