Bestsellers

David Sedaris holds steady at the top, with a comfortable layer of Dan Brown between himself and Chuck Palahniuk -- whose "Stranger Than Fiction," the only new debut, arrives at No. 3. Plus, Jon Krakauer scrambles ever closer to the summit, all on this week's list, courtesy of Powell's.
