What: Confessions of a Mullah Warrior by Massod Farivar
Male readers were catching up for a minute there, but females have pulled far ahead. Maybe men are more secretive about their reading, or maybe I'm less likely to notice them.

What: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
This author is popping up everywhere; now two different film versions of his other book (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) are coming out. I just noticed in his authority record that he died in 2004. The books seem new; they must just have been translated into English recently.
