All

I'm impressed by the penetration of the book into the list, my daughters 
almost finshed and has been forbidden to talk about it by Z (my 
partner), beyond this I'm  also fascinated by the delights and effects 
of popular culture. The numbers supplied to me are lower than I thought 
on Monday - they said it was 8million copies. Extrordinary numbers... It 
is interesting what popular cultural objects penetrate into the list. 
Why these ones do you think?

I rather like the idea of a jungian analysis it appeals to me...

regards
steve
