The Bestselling Books of the Week, According to All the Lists

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Interesting to browse this list of the 100 best-selling books of that last fifty years from The Times so see just how different the UK market has (and hasn’t been) different than here in the States. I don’t want to spoil it because it is worth it for the surprise, but only would I never have guessed the #1 best-seller, but I wouldn’t have gotten any of the top ten.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

I love summers in Oregon. Despite a strong aversion to super hot temperatures, I relish those sweltering days when it’s finally the right temperature to dash off to the coast, float in a beautiful river, or jump in a gorgeous alpine lake. But after a few weeks of summer fun, I’m that annoying friend gleefully counting down the days left until fall. I am a deeply autumnal soul.
