The title of Amy Chua's bestselling book is enough to provoke thought and speaks of the current temperature of the Western world. While the name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, the very popularity of World on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability shows how we're thinking right now. British television's Mr. Gardening, Alan Titchmarsh, follows up 2002's incredibly popular How To Be A Gardener with a sequel that shows every sign of selling at least as well as the first installment. In the world of heavyweight biographies, Claire Tomalin's intimate look at 17th century writer Samuel Pepys might not have the broad appeal of a John Adams or even a Heavier Than Heaven, but the presence of Samuel Pepys on the January bestseller list indicates that interest in Tomalin's work is strong. This is likely in acknowledgment of Tomalin's earlier work: well-reviewed biographies of Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonescraft. Who but Jill Conner Browne would think to mix cooking with financial planning? Yet she does so engagingly in The Sweet Potato Queens' Big-Ass Cookbook and Financial Planner. The third installment in the Sweet Potato Queens series shows every sign of being just as successful as its predecessors. There's no secret to the success of Crash Profits by money guru Martin D. Weiss. In Crash Profits Weiss advises readers how to take advantage of a not-so-great economy. And, judging from early sales, a lot of people want to know. Less than sterling reviews of Sir Jeffrey Archer's letter from prison (he's serving time for perjury), Sons of Fortune, seem to have done little to dampen sales of this tale of twins separated at birth. The most polite of the book's reviews have called it an "implausible" tale.
