* Dan Brown: Three weeks at the top of the PW charts (and every other chart) and counting.
* Oprah Winfrey: Uwem Akpan thanks you.

Your Thoughts: Tell me in the comments if my initial prediction of four weeks at the top of the NY Times list for Dan Brown (this is number 2 on the NY Times list for him--even though I missed last week) was too short.
