I was surprised how many of the list I had not read. In fact I perked up when I saw Green Eggs and Ham and the Hobbit. I also read the Narnia books and I have Macquire's Wicked. I guess I'm just not a Best Seller type of girl.

The frequency of diet books and John Grisham books was a bit surprising, but shouldn’t have been, now that I think about it. They are always on endcaps and getting huge displays at bookstores. So American readers are obsessed with weight and distracted by (interchangeable — to me) pulpy legal thrillers?
