The Bestsellers of Recent Times

USA Today has just released a list of the top 150 books of the last 15 years, since they started their bestsellers list.

I've narrowed the list down to the ones I've read. Here they are:

Rank - Title - Author
1 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - J.K. Rowling, art by Mary GrandPre
4 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling, art by Mary GrandPre

14 - What to Expect When You're Expecting - Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, Sandee Hathaway

I've read 22 of the books, mostly children's and YA fiction, literature I had to read in high school and parenting books. Otherwise, it seems that I steer clear of most "bestsellers". Interesting.

Apparently not one of the majority,
