2013

I didn't see where we had a thread for 2013. I suspect it takes a while for the numbers to get compiled.

According to USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2014/01/15/usa-today-best-selling-books...
the top books for 2013 were these:

1. Inferno by Dan Brown And the movie version is about to come out.
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck by Jeff kinney
4. Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
5. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
6. Sycamore Row by John Gresham
7. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
8. Allegiant by Veronica Roth Ms. Roth was having a good year.
9. Killing Jesus by Bill O'Reilly
10. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald I suspect a resurgence by that pretty flashy movie.

Publisher's Weekly has a little different order from several sources. http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article...

And finally from Amazon print sales:

Amazon Print Top 20

1. Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath (Gallup)
2. Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg (Knopf)
3. Hard Luck (Wimpy Kid #8) by Jeff Kinney (Abrams/Amulet)
4. Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims by Rush Limbaugh (S&S/Threshold)
5. Jesus Calling by Sarah Young (Thomas Nelson)
6. Inferno by Dan Brown (Doubleday)
7. The House of Hades by Rick Riordan (Disney-Hyperion)
8. Things That Matter by Charles Krauthammer (Crown Forum)
9. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Scribner)
10. Killing Jesus by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard (Henry Holt)

With the obvious exception of Gatsby, I don't see any fiction titles I'd guess to be "one for the ages".

edit: didn't see The Book Thief, which may retain legs. And Galbraith (Rowling) may hang through a few coming decades by association.

Sadly, some of these I've never even heard of and I do try to keep up.

Thrillers, romance & young adult about sums it up.

Slim pickings, there. I have read all of O'Reilly's books except for that one; for which I prefer to get my info from the source!;)
