Forgot to mention an article by Nina King, entitled "Topping the 
Charts."

"Twenty-five years later, on today's Book World best-seller list, 
thrillers and mysteries hold sway...." "There are books by Danielle 
Steel, Lawrence Sanders and Arthur C. Clarke -- Nothing there to 
surprise or thrill the reader of today or that of 1972. One notable 
exception: Thomas Pynchon's postmodernist meganovel about early U.S. 
history, 'Mason & Dixon.'"

Not surprisingly, the best selling hardcover fictions were all by 
Grisham.
