That's really good! It should be number one, though. But it has been nearly a year since Deathly Hallows was released, so I guess being number three will do. | |

I have a hard time believing that all the books they read are biographies. But yes, very nice to see Deathly Hallows up there, and yay for The God Delusion! | |
