Every reader's dream is a fresh stack of books!

Avid readers don't usually base their choices on best-seller lists, but it's hard not to at least be a little curious about what's at the top of the charts. The list that comes immediately to mind is the New York Times list, but the Times definitely isn't the only game in town.

Some lists overlap, of course. Some lists are highly specialized. But since lists are always fun, we'll take a look every week at some of the lists that are out there.
