Well, as the late Eric might have said, it looks as though you're reading all the same books, just not necessarily in the same order. This week's Top Ten paperback fiction sales list looks like this....
1 Remarkable Creatures, by Tracey Chevalier (a very good book).
2 The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver
3 Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel - moving back up!
4 Family Album, by Penelope Lively
5 Love and Summer, by William Trevor
6 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, by Stieg Larsson. Just as it looked as though she was about to drop off, she bounces back
7 Corduroy Mansions, by Alexander McCall Smith
8 The Scarecrow, by Michael Connolly
9 Gentleman's Relish, by Patrick Gale
10 Trust Me, I'm a Vet, by Cathy Woodman
I've been trying to work out if these titles have anything in common, but I don't think so - here are thrillers, historical novels, family stories, short stories, light and shade, sprawling narrative, and the prize-winning and 'literary'. Eclectic, I think we could say. But as a lot of people are obviously reading these titles, I'm guessing there really is something for everyone.
