tome of your choice. To get to Hen
dricks, take Franklin Boulevard
going north, turn left on Orchard
Street, follow the signs, park and
enjoy.
One more good sun spot to visit
is the Mt. Pisgah Aboretum. This
is 208 acres of flowers, trees and
meadow. This is an area that
doesn’t require a whole lot of
anything to find a perfect spot to
read. Whether its streams or
grass, Mt. Pisgah has it all.
To find the park, take 1-5 south
then take Exit 189. Take a left onto
Franklin Boulevard, then right on
Franklin Boulevard East and final
ly a right on Seavey Loop Road.
A little closer to home is
Spencer’s Butte. This area will re
quire some physical exertion, but it
is pretty minimal and well worth it.
There’s a path leading to the top of
the butte, where all of the Eugene
area can be viewed. This is a good
spot to read and get a suntan/bum
at the same time. There aren’t very
many shaded areas on the top of
Spencer’s, but it is still a serene
place to read and enjoy the view. To
get there, head east on Chambers
Street until you reach the sign.
Bring sunscreen and water.
If you don’t want to drive at all,
just head to campus and pick a
spot — there are a lot of areas all
through campus that are enjoyable
for reading and relaxing.

Bestsellers
continued from page 1
three weeks ago. The novel gives
readers a hopeful view of heaven,
where 14-year-old Susie Salmon
watches the drama of her family’s
life unfold after being brutally
raped and murdered.
The No. 1 position has been
held by a recent entrant since its
debut two weeks ago: “The Rem
nant: On the Brink of Armaged
don,” by Tim LaHaye, uses a
straightforward Christian plot and
message to propel its apocalyptic
thrills. This book is the 10th in
stallment in LaHaye’s “Left Be
hind” series.
After 19 weeks on the list, “The
Nanny Diaries,” by Emma
McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, is
still going strong at No. 4 with its
fictional behind-the-diapers look at
an elite, dysfunctional New York
City family.
Keeping the gossip about elite
New Yorkers alive, Danielle
Steele’s latest hit, “Sunset in St.
Tropez,” offers soap-opera-on-the
beach fans another healthy dose of
platinum living and relationship
intrigue. The book debuted at No. 5
three weeks ago and currently sits
at No. 7.
Finally, the hardcover summer
wouldn’t be complete without sus
pense. James Patterson and Peter de
Jonge’s “The Beach House,” cur
rently at No. 3 after five weeks, of
fers a classic rich-versus-poor tale
set in the Hamptons, mixed with
murder, revenge and lunches
served cold.
Stephen L. Carter offers a tad
more literary (and long, at 650
pages) thriller, “The Emperor of
Ocean Park,” which tells the tale of
Talcott Garland, an African Ameri
can law professor at an Ivy League
university who must unravel his
dead father’s dark secrets without
endangering his wife’s chance at a
judicial nomination. It stands at
No. 5 after six weeks.
Nonfiction books also have
some true summer winners this
year, not the least of which is Ann
Coulter’s “Slander: Liberal Lies
About the American Right.” Coul
ter has a right-wing, shock-jock
schtick, and it sells. Her most re
cent fame came after the Sept. 11
attacks, when she purposefully
pushed people’s buttons by say
ing, “We should invade their
countries, kill their leaders and
convert them to Christianity.”
Coulter’s book debuted at No. 1
on Publisher Weekly’s hardcover
nonfiction bestseller list three
weeks ago and has remained there
since. The West Coast shows its
bias here, though: The Los Angeles
Times bestseller list has Michael
Moore’s latest skewering of corpo
rate America, “Stupid White Men
... and Other Sorry Excuses for the
State of the Nation,” in the top slot
while Coulter languishes at No. 3.
This year’s nonfiction crop also
includes self-help, one of the
genre’s mainstays: At No. 2 on the
chart after 33 weeks is “Self Mat
ters: Creating Your Life from the In
side Out,” by Phillip C. McGraw
(also known as Oprah’s “Dr. Phil”),
which asks readers to identify their
life’s 10 defining moments. “Who
Moved My Chuese?” by Spencer
Johnson ofh .s diff rent personality
“types” — Snifi and Scurry, and
Hem and Haw — seeking out their
heart’s desire (the cheese, in this
parable). Johnson’s book is at No. 3
after 134 weeks.
Summer book sales wouldn’t be
complete, however, without mass
market paperbacks. Readers tote
them on planes, back them in beach
bags and nuzzle them by the fire.
The summer breakout is “A
Bend in the Road” by Nicholas
Sparks, which debuted in the top
spot two weeks ago and stayed
there, thanks to its sudsy and com
plex love story where everyone in
the town of New Bern learns to be
come a better person.
Rebecca Wells’ “Divine Secrets
of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,” a gush
ing tale of Southern femininity
and family, is proving a summer
hit as well, in the No. 2 spot after
nine weeks.
The final installment in Nora
Roberts’ Three Sisters trilogy, “Face
the Fire,” rides a seaside setting, ro
mance and magic to the No. 5 posi
tion after seven weeks.
Mary Higgins Clark isn’t on the
mass-market list this summer (she
was briefly on the hardcover fic
tion list with “Mount Vernon Love
Story”), but thrillers are still, er,
thrilling.
“Hemlock Bay,” by Catherine
Coulter, and “Whisper of Evil,” by
Kay Hooper, are the big summer
entries in the mass-market thriller
category, and both are doing well.
Coulter’s romantic thriller again
focuses on her married FBI agent
characters who, in this volume,
must stop satanic child-killing
twins. Hooper’s book is the second
in her paranormal “Evil” mystery
series, and it again delves into psy
chic powers and a string of mur
ders. Both books have been in the
top five since they debuted. Coul
ter is currently at No. 3 and Hoop
er is at No. 4.
