Do you ever look at the NYT best-seller list? I've been looking at it lately, following Al Gore's quest to save the globe , and am continually amazed to see what tops these lists. I know it's nothing new to see the best-sellers, I've just never actually paid any attention.
#1 Hardcover Nonfiction: Ann Coulter's Godless
#1 Hardcover Fiction: Janet Evonavich's TwelveSharp
At least in Paperback there are some good books, even if they neede Oprah to bring Night to the top, or a possible apocalypse for Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. In Paperback fiction, Evonavich's Eleven on Top is still hanging in there, way to go Janet. Does anyone know the last time a novel that (I'm betraying my arrogance here) worth reading topped the NYT best-seller list?

Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. -Virginia Woolf, Modern Fiction
