Feels pretty good. Amazon's not much of a proxy measure when there are books in the stores. This list is pure Barnes and Noble.

We'll see how many more months it can stay on, but nice that it moved up, behind only 3 books with far more publicity (and actual reviews in major pubs!).

Here's the list:

1) The World Is Flat by Thomas L. Friedman (number 1 last month, 8 months on list)

2) The Assassins' Gate by George Packer (2 last month, 2 months on list)

3) Collapse by Jared Diamond (4 last month, 11 months on list)
