Swamp Journal

• You On a Diet is the follow-up to the bestselling You: The Owner's Manual. This is so popular that on Friday we were instructed by home office to replace all the books on a feature cart with just this one book.
• I'm not sure why so many people are coming in to ask for Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which is now in paperback. I haven't heard much "buzz" on it, and I hadn't even heard about it when it was in hardcover. But we ran out of it during the past week (partly because the computer thought we had more copies on hand than we did), and when it arrived today there was a list of people waiting to be called.
• No such mystery about State of Denial -- this is as topical as it gets, and Bob Woodward may be the best-known journalist in the world. The Iraq Study Group Report arrived this past week, and it will probably be in high demand, too.

Also, there are novels by the usual suspects: James Patterson, Stephen King, Stuart Woods, Nicholas Sparks, Dean Koontz, and Nelson DeMille. And John Grisham has his first non-fiction book out, The Innocent Man, a true-life story told in the style of Grisham's legal thrillers.

Anybody read any of these?
