NONFICTION BESTSELLERS: Grogan's 'Marley & Me' Continues to Impress
Moving up in sales from the previous week is the unexpected hit Marley & Me, by John Grogan. The memoir, about Grogan's problematic but endearing dog, sold 28,000 units last week, an increase of more than 1,000 from the week before. Grogan is currently working on another memoir, sans Marley,
about growing up in an Irish-Catholic household in Detroit, Mich. Elsewhere in the Top Five, Thomas L. Friedman's The World Is Flat and Sharon Rocha's For Laci drop out as both the paperback and hardcover editions of Elie Wiesel's Night move in. Oprah-recommended books currently hold the top three spots on the chart and have sold a total of 239,000 units (the paperback edition of Night takes the No. 1 spot, James Frey's A Million Little Pieces holds steady at No. 2 and Night's hardcover is at No. 3).
