Books on money, diets, murder in demand
Borders' bestsellers reflect holiday preparation, anxiety
With the holiday season in full swing,
it is no surprise that Borders' 10 best-
selling books in the region include three
books on cooking and one on dieting.
The week's list of nonfiction bestsell-
ers in eastern Michigan and northwest
Ohio include "You: On A Diet: The Own-
er's Manual for Waist Management" by
Mehmet Oz.
The lists also includes "The Audac-
ity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming
the American Dream," by Sen. Barack
Obama (D-Ill.), who may be running for
president in 2008.
In his book, Obama discusses his per-
spective on faith, values and politics.
John Grisham's first try at nonfiction,
"The Innocent Man: Murder and Injus-
tice in a Small Town," is also one of the
region's best-sellers.
The top fictional best-sellers include
"Next" by Michael Crichton, "For One
More Day" by Mitch Albom and "Brother
Odd" by Dean Koontz. All three tell very
different stories: Crichton focuses on
the scientific possibilities of the future,
Albom touches on the relationship
between mother and son, and Koontz
tells a tale of supernatural happenings at
a monastery.
Other fiction best-sellers include
"Cross" by James Patterson, "Dear John"
by Nicholas Sparks and "Wild Fire" by
Nelson DeMille.
Books on the national besc-selling fic-
tion list that did not make the regional
list include "Nature Girl" by Carl Hiaas-
en and "The Shape Shifter" by Tony
Hillerman.
The nonfiction national best-sellers
are similar to this region's top sellers
with some exceptions. "I Feel Bad About
My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being
a Woman" by Nora Ephron, "I Like You:
Hospitality Underthe Influence" by Amy
Sedaris and "Why We WantYou to Rich:
Two Men - One Message" by Donald
Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are three of
the national best-selling books that did
not make the regional list.
Several University students said they
don't have the extra cash to buy - or
time to read - books like "Martha Stew-
art's Homekeeping Handbook."
Because of the relaxed atmosphere in
the book store, University students said
they tend to browse through the selec-
tion of books, magazines and music at
the Borders on 612 E. Liberty St. without
feeling pressure to purchase anything.
"I have only heard of two of the books
on this list," LSA sophomore Emily Ged-
ert said. "I plan on buying'For One More
Day,' but I am waiting for finals to be
over first."

A study by the Indian
Council of Medical
Research found that
condoms made according to
international standards are
too large for a majority of
Indian men. As a result, there
is a call for smaller condoms
to be made available across
India. The condom failure
rate in India is 20 percent.

a psychologist at the Uni-

use less caution when pass-
