Larsson claims top spot on three best-seller lists

Another week has passed us by in the wide world of books, and according to this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List, we’ve got two new books at the top of the hardcover fiction and hardcover nonfiction best-seller lists.

"The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson, pictured at right, replaced “The Rembrandt Affair” by Daniel Silva as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction list. Larsson’s book, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” retained the No. 1 spots on the best-seller lists for mass market paperbacks and trade paperbacks.

"Sh t My Dad Says" by Justin Halpern replaced “Women, Food and God” by Geneen Roth as the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction list.
