Cramer TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes WEDNESDAY: University Jobs THURSDAY: FRIDAY: Explained Before You Were Here 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." EMILYANGELL The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com C Jbe 1Mit4igan *3aitl 413 E.
