Jeanne came across this list of previous years' best sellers, and thought it might be fun to base some of our questions on them.

1. In 1956, these were the top ten best sellers for the year. Have you read any of them?
   1. Don't Go Near the Water, William Brinkley

   No, I must admit I haven't read any of these.
2. Which ones have you read? Did you like them? See above.
3. If you're like me and haven't read a single one, which ones have you heard of? Peyton Place, Auntie Mame and The Mandarins.
4. Will you be putting any of these books in your reading list? It's hard to say. I'll need to do a bit of research first to decide.
