NONFICTION BESTSELLERS: Oprah's Picks Slip
Oprah Book Club titles have three of the Top Five spots on the Nonfiction Chart, although each took a dive in sales from the previous week. The paperback edition of Elie Wiesel's Night remains at No. 1 for the second consecutive week, but sold 41,000 units fewer than the the edition's debut
week (it sold 87,000 units last week, still an impressive number). James Frey's A Million Little Pieces, which Oprah basically un-recommended on her show last Thursday, remains at No. 2 after dropping in sales by 22,000 units (the paperback sold 58,000). The hardcover edition of Night fell two spots to No. 5 after selling 18,000 units, more than 13,000 fewer than the week before.
