New York Times Best Seller lists

Interesting to compare in the NYT Book review today the similarity between the Hardcover Fiction best seller list and the E-Book best seller list.

The Hardcover Fiction Top 10 is as follows:

1. 11/22/63 - Stephen King  -  Over on the E-Book list this title is #5
2.The Litigators - John Grisham -E-Book list #3
3.Kill Alex Cross - James Patterson - E-Book list  #4
4.Locked On - Tom Clancy with  Mark Greaney - E Book list #9
5.Death Comes to Pemberley - P.D.James -  E-Book list #14
6.The Best of Me - Nicholas Sparks - #13
7.Red Mist - Patricia Cornwell - #7
8.Explosive Eighteen - Janet Evanovich - #10
9.V is for Vengeance - Sue Grafton - #23
10.The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest - Stieg Larsson - #15

As a matter of interest the #1 title on the E-Book list is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - no doubt influenced by the recent release of the movie. It is also #1 on the Mass Market fiction paperback list and #2 on the Trade Fiction list.
I have spent an enjoyable hour or so looking through these lists today (Sunday) in NYC. I find the endlessly fascinating.
